Kirstianna and Kaitlyn performed on Sunday, February 24th, 2019 for the well-attended Youth Choirs Festival in Baker Hall at Zoellner Arts Center, Lehigh University (equity theatre) in Bethlehem. This performance is in conjunction with The Bach Choir Family Series and featured more than 100 hard-working, gifted youth singers in the metropolitan area who share the passion, intelligence and artistic challenge with talent enough to perform the future of choral art and musical life should they choose to pursue it. This is a collaboration that The Bach Choir is justifiably proud of and members of the choir said they are both inspired by and grateful of these young artists.
Kirstianna and Kaitlyn had the rare privilege of performing at the Historic Bethlehem Live Advent Calendar on December 15th, 2018 at the Goundie House located at 501 Main Street, Bethlehem. The Historic Bethlehem Live Advent Calendar, the only one of its kind in the country, is kicking off its 13th year! Shops, restaurants and community organizations of the Historic District will provide a special 10-15 minute treat/program to Live Advent visitors every night from Dec 1-23 at 5:30PM. The event hosted by merchants of the Downtown Bethlehem Association (DBA), a council of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites features Horse Drawn Carriage Rides, City Tours, and other holiday attractions.
What to expect?
·Visitors gather outside the door of the Goundie House
·At the time of the presentation, a selected visitor will be asked to walk up to the door and knock
·When the door is opened, a special guest from a local business or organization will appear and distribute treats among the crowd.
The idea of the “Live Advent Calendar” is from the tradition of Advent Calendars or Christmas Countdown Calendars for children and families during the holidays. With a traditional calendar, there is a set number of “doors” to open each day as Christmas draws near. Traditional calendars provide a treat or verbiage each day.
The Historic DBA Advent Calendar will be life-sized with a special person to hand out the treat daily at 5:30pm. Each day will be a different local business featuring surprise entertainment.

Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce LGBT Business Council fosters diversity in the Lehigh Valley Business Community, is an advocate and promotes business networking and exchanges.
