Something for Everyone

As the region’s leading resource for classical music, OSFL envisions a culture in which people are inspired to attend live classical music performances. We are committed to providing all people of our region with opportunities to understand, share, and enjoy high-quality, live, classical music. That’s why we are particularly excited about our 2012-2013 season, which offers something for everyone. In a departure from tradition, OSFL will hold more of its concerts at the Clemens Center in Elmira. This arrangement gives OSFL patrons more pricing and seating options. It also gives OSFL the capacity to accommodate the growing number of new patrons, and optimal flexibility to design the most delightful performances possible for OSFL audiences, like those described here!
