The Young People’s Philharmonic of the Lehigh Valley was founded in 1976 by Jerry T. and Nancy Bidlack, and now comprises two orchestras: the YPP, a full symphonic orchestra made up of some 80 high school students, and the Junior Strings Philharmonic (JSP), a string orchestra of some 40 middle school and elementary school students. The young musicians come from the Lehigh Valley (Lehigh, Northampton, Monroe, Carbon, Bucks, and Berks counties), the Poconos region, and Western New Jersey. Admission to both groups is by audition. Weekly rehearsals take place at First Presbyterian Church in Bethlehem.
