Allentown Symphony Orchestra 2025-26 Season Info
The Allentown Symphony Orchestra has announced an exciting lineup for its 2025–26 season, offering a mix of classical masterworks, pops concerts, and special guest performances — all held at the historic Miller Symphony Hall in downtown Allentown. As one of the few orchestras in the country to own and perform in its own concert hall, the ASO continues its mission to make orchestral music a central part of the Lehigh Valley’s cultural life.
The season opens with a celebratory concert titled An American in Paris & More on October 11–12, featuring iconic American music with a French twist. In November, audiences can enjoy Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8, while February brings a special appearance by acclaimed pianist Emanuel Ax, performing with the orchestra in a centerpiece concert. Other highlights include Mozart’s Requiem in April and a season finale featuring Mahler’s “Titan” Symphony on May 16–17.
The orchestra also presents a crowd-friendly Pops Series, with themed concerts designed to entertain all ages. This year’s lineup includes Broadway Rocks, Holiday Pops, Havana Nights with The Mambo Kings, Space: The Final Frontier (featuring music from Star Wars and The Planets), and Dancing Queen – The Music of ABBA, which brings the season to a fun and familiar close in July. Patrons age 21 and under can attend most concerts free of charge thanks to the support of PPL and The Century Fund.
Whether you’re a classical enthusiast, a Broadway fan, or looking for an inspiring evening out, the Allentown Symphony’s new season delivers something for every kind of music lover—all in one of Pennsylvania’s most treasured performance spaces.
