Kurt Maytum, second from right, president and chief technical officer for DFT Communications, and Dan Siracuse, right, marketing and public relations manager for DFT Communications, present a check to Jefferson Westwood, second from left, director of Rockefeller Arts Center; and Tim Murphy, director of development for the Fredonia College Foundation as part of DFT Communications’ continued sponsorship of Rockefeller’s pops series at the State University of New York at Fredonia.

DFT Communications has returned for a 17th consecutive season in 2024-25 as the title sponsor for Rockefeller Arts Center's pops series at the State University of New York at Fredonia. The Fredonia-based company has served as the sponsor for Rockefeller's pops series since the 2007-08 season.

The 2024-25 DFT Communications Pops Series opened in September with The Doo Wop Project. It continues with a holiday concert featuring Phat Cat Swinger performing "A Not So Silent Night" at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 11 in King Concert Hall on the Fredonia campus. The series will conclude on May 16 with "The Sound of Music," which will be the annual commencement-eve pops event.

"We are very pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with DFT Communications," Rockefeller Arts Center Director Jefferson Westwood said. "They have been a valued partner in our efforts to bring our pops events to the community for almost two decades now." DFT Communications provides phone and Internet service to the Dunkirk, Fredonia, Cassadaga and Jamestown areas. Founded in 1898 in Arthur R. Maytum's grocery store, DFT has been serving the Dunkirk and Fredonia area for more than 120 years.
