The Bel Canto Youth Chorus

This is so cool!

We were covering first and second endings in Knabenchor rehearsals. Can you follow along?

We've prepared this 5-minute video on how we've adjusted to COVID-19 and keep kids singing. https://youtu.be/4LrgoduSGxg

Knabenchor (German for Boy Choir) is open to boys in grades 3-8 with little or no experience as a chorister. Boys will learn to sing and read music through games, and other activities. Rehearsals take place Monday evenings on the open-air porch at the historic Heckewelder House, 440 Heckewelder Place in downtown Bethlehem. Open rehearsal this coming Monday, Oct. 5th at 6:30 pm. See Bach.org/belcanto for details.

Concert Choir warms up before a fulfilling rehearsal.

We couldn't agree more!

So happy to be safely singing together. Everyone is masked and spaced apart. This is the porch at Heckewelder. Best part? They can hear each other!! We have achieved In-Person Rehearsals!

Blast from the past... Sean nos singer, BrianÓ hAirt visited rehearsal on Sept 23, 2010 as he was in the area for the Celtic Classic festival in Bethlehem. Dr. H doesn't age at all.

The Virtual Choral Village is starting with some wonderfully creative participants.

Dr. H did a wonderful interview with The Choir School of Delaware last week. (Of course!)
