Current Donor Campaign
We appreciate that not everyone has the resources to provide extra support, and that is perfectly fine. But if you can afford it, we would greatly appreciate your support of this special campaign we’re running. Thanks for considering.

Campaign #1: Accessible Tickets
According to 2022 Census data, 11% of the population of Northampton and Lehigh County is living below the poverty level, and a recent United Way survey found that 47% of Greater Lehigh Valley households struggle to afford basic expenses like rent, food and child care. This context underpins one of the Lehigh Valley Chorale’s founding principles: providing our community with access to the arts regardless of their ability to pay. We have historically offered free general admission tickets for those who need them; on average, approximately 30% of our audiences have received these no-cost tickets, which have been fully subsidized by the Chorale.
Beginning with the 2024-2025 concert season, we are increasing our impact by collaborating with local school districts and select community partners to provide some of our free tickets to our concerts in a targeted manner. For example, for our upcoming December show, we are donating 120 tickets to students and families of the Allentown School District. This is in addition to the 240 tickets that we are offering free to the public without restrictions.
The total cost to the Chorale for these tickets is $3,600. We are currently welcoming donors at any level to assist in underwriting this program and are pleased to announce that at the time of this email, we have received $1,025 in donations toward our goal.
