Stuart Fuchs is an accomplished classical & jazz guitarist and a consumate entertainer with his uplifting, soulful and often hilarious blend of jazz, world music, poetry and storytelling. He made his first appearance at the Music Hall with his award winning band, “Babik,” performing the music of gypsy jazz legend Django Reinhardt which was also featured on PRI's "The World.”
“Masterful playing and creative arrangements— Stuart Fuchs is a Tour de Force on Ukulele with taste and a heavy finger on the talent button.” ~ Cathy Fink, GRAMMY Award Winner & Producer.
Fuchs is also a world renowned ukelele master, who tours the globe with his music and innovative music workshops, including "Ukulele Zen.” In 2014 he was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to compose and perform healing music for cancer patients at Roswell Park in Buffalo. Following Fuchs concert, he will be offering a ukelele workshop on Sunday morning.

The Music Hall is a not-for-profit community arts organization, founded to provide a performance venue for the community and support for performing artists. It is run wholly by volunteers since its inception more than 40 years ago. Volunteers can earn admission to shows through various tasks— from running the sound board to making popcorn. SUNY student interns help run shows and public school students can earn credit for community service.
Music Hall events are made possible in part with funding by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
