As the only fully professional symphony in the region, the NEPA Philharmonic regularly performs in two facilities - the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple in Scranton and the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre, each with a seating capacity of 1,800. The organization is comprised of a 26-member governing Board of Directors, Music Director Lawrence Loh, Executive Director Nancy Schmitt, and seven full-time and seven part-time employees.
As the only arts and education organization in Northeastern Pennsylvania to successfully develop a multi-county base of support, education is an integral part of our mission in the community. Each year the Philharmonic introduces classical music to thousands of children and other new audiences through innovative programming like the Young People’s Concerts, which offers 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 of our concerts - one in Scranton and one in Wilkes-Barre. The concert series include classical and pop-themed performance programs; Independence Day concerts offered free of charge to the community, and holiday performances incorporating local choral and dance groups.
