BuffFluxus is a Buffalo based ensemble performing in the Fluxus tradition of the 1960s and '70s. BuffFluxus performs the work of artists such as Jackson Mac Low, Yoko Ono, Dick Higgens, and Alison Knowles, as well as contemporary works written in the Fluxus style. The goal of the Fluxus movement was an anarchist "anti-art" philosophy, which put the value and creation of art back in the hands of the people. The goal of BuffFluxus is to make these radical artistic principles relevant for the 21st Century listener.

Wooden Cities is both an ensemble and a collective of performers and composers seeking to help increase the performance and awareness of contemporary music in the Western New York area through unique, educational presentations. Formed in July 2011, the group served as a vehicle for director Brendan Fitzgerald to present John Zorn's game piece Cobra. Since that time the group has grown to include over a dozen performers and is constantly seeking new works by new composers while continuing to present works by some of the essential, yet underrepresented composers of the 20th Century.
