Buffalo United Community Choir (BUCC) was founded in January 2023 by the BPO Diversity Council with a powerful mission: to unite the Buffalo-Niagara region through the transformative power of music. Drawing voices from across the area, this dynamic 100+ member choir brings together individuals from more than 50 local churches and organizations, embodying the strength, spirit, and diversity of the Buffalo community.

Under the artistic leadership of esteemed music directors Ella E. Robinson, Karen Saxon, and George Brown, BUCC made its debut at Buffalo United for Black History at First Shiloh Baptist Church. Since then, the choir has delivered stirring performances, including a featured appearance at the May 14th Remembrance event at the Johnnie B. Wiley Sports Pavilion, and collaborative performances with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at Kleinhans Music Hall and throughout the region.

The Buffalo United Community Choir proudly lives by its motto: “We lift our voices in song as ONE community.”
