Youth & Family Concert

Each year the Allentown Symphony Association welcomes hundreds of children from the Lehigh Valley and beyond to Miller Symphony Hall for their annual youth concert. The concert is offered at no cost to schools and is both entertaining and educational for the children who attend.

Educational material are provided to families to expand and enrich the overall experience.
