Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic

About

As the only fully professional symphony in the region, the NEPA Philharmonic regularly performs in two facilities: the Scranton Cultural Center and the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre. The organization is comprised of a 26- member governing Board of Directors, Music Director, Lawrence Loh, Executive Director, Nancy Schmitt, and staff. Each year the Philharmonic introduces classical music to thousands of children and other new audiences through innovative programming like the Young People’s Concerts, a coordinated multi-disciplinary educational program. NEPA Philharmonic also offers open rehearsals with an educational component, a piano competition and special events for families. The Philharmonic presents two performances of each concert: one in Scranton and one in Wilkes-Barre. The series includes classical and pop-themed performance programs, Independence Day concerts offered free to the community, and holiday performances incorporating local choral and dance groups.
