“Podcast was good. Really. I'm not just saying that because I'm an FOH fan. I wish I could see all the shows presented by FOH, especially after hearing Dan and Alberto talk about the opera and A&A.”

Barb / Fredonia, New York

Lovingly restored venue with a great vibe and lots of wonderful music. I am particularly partial to the Folk in Fredonia series. We have some very talented musicians right here in western NY!

Beautiful hidden gem in Fredonia. If given the chance take a look inside. Shows independent movies, operas steam straight from the Met, Bolshoi ballet performances, and art and architecture series is always phenomenal. Live performances also shown of course.

The folk concert series is fantastic! This building is gorgeous inside and out.
