About this venue
Miller Symphony Hall Allentown is a historic performing arts venue distinguished by its elegant Beaux-Arts architecture and its strong connection with Allentown's musical life. The former theatre space is now home to the Allentown Symphony Orchestra, while the main performance hall has a maximum capacity of 1,132 guests, with seating arranged across three levels. Its combination of preserved historic architecture, a distinctive façade and a full concert stage gives the venue the character of a classic American theatre designed for orchestral concerts and a wide range of live performances.
Inside, the hall retains an intimate theatrical atmosphere despite its substantial capacity. Multiple seating levels provide clear views toward the stage, while the acoustic character of the auditorium is particularly well suited to musical performances. Comfortable seating, traditional auditorium details and additional spaces such as the Lyric Room and Rodale Community Room complement the visitor experience and allow smaller cultural and social events to take place alongside performances in the main hall.
The venue is located at 23 N 6th St, Allentown, United States, with the main entrance directly accessible from Sixth Street. Visitors arriving by car can use nearby parking options including the Transportation Deck at Sixth and Linden Streets and the Community Deck near Sixth and Walnut Streets, while designated accessible parking spaces are available along Sixth Street close to the hall.

About the city
Allentown, a city in Pennsylvania and one of the hubs of the wider Lehigh Valley region, is an attractive destination for visitors coming for concerts, sports matches and other major events. Its urban core brings together arenas, restaurants, hotels and cultural venues within a practical distance, making it easy to organize a stay around an evening program or a weekend visit. The area around Hamilton Street and the PPL Center stands out in particular, where the atmosphere of a city night out naturally connects with entertainment, dining and accommodation options.
Getting to Allentown is straightforward thanks to strong regional connections. The nearest airport is Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE), located in the Allentown area, while local public transportation is operated by LANTA through the LANtaBus network. An important transportation hub is the Allentown Transportation Center at 110 N 6th Street, which serves as a practical starting point for reaching the downtown area, hotels, arenas and stadiums. Visitors arriving by bus, car or plane can plan access to major venues such as the PPL Center and J. Birney Crum Stadium relatively easily, with the option of combining public transport, taxis, rideshares and walking within the central area.
Before or after an event, Allentown offers enough attractions for an enjoyable city visit. A walk through the Hamilton District, a visit to the ArtsWalk and the Allentown Art Museum are good choices for those who want to combine culture, public art and downtown restaurants. For a more relaxed pace, it is worth exploring the area along the Lehigh River or choosing one of the city’s green spaces, while the compact structure of the center makes it possible to combine a concert, a match and a short sightseeing stop into one practical and rewarding visit.
