Buffalo String Works getting ready for 7th annual benefit concert On March 20, Buffalo String Works Students will play alongside 13 artists, with names you may recognize such as The National and Arcade Fire. Author: Danielle Church (WGRZ) Updated: 6:26 PM EST February 18, 2021 BUFFALO, N.Y. The Buffalo String Works seventh annual benefit concert is coming up in March. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it will be completely virtual. It s an opportunity to see up-and-coming local music students play alongside some big names in music. The show called They Could Only Walk will feature more than 10 performers from around the world, some of which you might recognize.
Executive Director of Buffalo String Works (BSW) Yuki Numata Resnick and her staff are attempting something bold close to 20 musical performances by 20 different musicians across the world, who are working together to play an iconic Burmese March on short notice.
It will be one of several performances that BSW is putting together for a concert that wasn’t on the calendar early last week.
“We had a parent reach out to us directly and said, ‘This terrible thing is happening to our families, to our friends in Myanmar,’” Resnick said. “They asked, ‘Miss Yuki, can you please help us raise awareness and share information with the local Buffalo community about what s happening thousands of miles away?’ And so when we received that message, I immediately sent it on to our staff and teaching artists.”
