ASO Family Concert: THE MOZART EXPERIENCE
Saturday, February 26, 2022, 2:00 pm
Due to a water pipe break and subsequent damage in the offices of Miller Symphony Hall, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this weekend's performance of ASO FAMILY CONCERT: THE MOZART EXPERIENCE on Saturday, February 26, 2022. A new date will be announced soon.
All tickets previously purchased will be honored on the new date. If you have any questions, please email the Box Office at info@allentownsymphony.org.
It saddens all of us that this has happened. We know you were looking forward to this concert with your family and we were looking forward to welcoming you to Miller Symphony Hall.
As we navigate this new challenge, thank you for your patience and understanding.

“The Mozart Experience” is the second of two programs created and performed by the Magic Circle Mime Co. for the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center. A mischievous street musician finds herself thrust into the role of Mozart in this concert program for chamber orchestra. Presented by the conductor with opportunities and dilemmas similar to those faced by Mozart, the street musician slowly evolves into a modern-day Mozart. From extravagant youth to the appearance of the apocalyptic “mysterious stranger,” the audience experiences Mozart’s life as a musical, human adventure.
Share the genius of Mozart and inspire the children in your life! The perfect introduction to some of the most perfect music ever composed: “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,” Symphony No. 40, “The Magic Flute” and more.
