This spring marks the beginning of a new era with the introduction of the Levitt AMP Music Series, which will bring the Levitt program to 10 additional small to mid-sized cities across America (for a list of Levitt AMP winners visit www.amp.levittpavilions.org)—which means that free Levitt concerts will be happening in 16 cities this year!
