Celebrate our 29th Season!
Our 29th Season is in full swing! The Bel Canto Youth Chorus offers wide-ranging musical experiences that create thoughtful and expressive singing musicians. Our holistic approach to choral instruction is ideal for any child who loves to sing and seeks musical enrichment.
Our performances continue through the spring and summer. The collaborative performance of Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion with The Bach Choir of Bethlehem marks Greg Funfgeld’s final performances as the Artistic Director. We are honored to join in the celebration of this amazing milestone.
The summer session will find Bel Canto students joining with youth choirs from Washington, D.C., and Wilmington, DE in a tour that traces Harriet Tubman’s journey from Maryland to her home in Auburn, NY. The youth choirs will present joint concerts in Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley before heading to New York. Bel Canto will also visit Women’s rights National Historical Park, Seneca Falls, as well as perform in Geneva, New York.
Bel Canto also presents two summer enrichment camps: Choral Village for students looking for a fresh energetic way to express themselves through sounds and music; and our annual Choir Camp to gather our singers and kick off our season.
