Allentown Band

A prominent feature of 19th-century musical Americana is the concert band, and the Allentown Band has, for almost two hundred years, kept that tradition alive. Drawn from within a fifty-mile radius of the Lehigh Valley, the band's musicians, as different as their backgrounds may be, share one common goal: to create and preserve concert band music at a kind of excellence rarely heard from a community band. All members of the Allentown Band approach their music-making in an expert manner, though none makes his or her living from music performance alone.
