The Choir was founded in 1898 by its first conductor John Frederick Wolle\, an organist at Central Moravian Church\, and gave the first complete performances in America of the Mass in B Minor (1900) and Christmas Oratorio (1901). Since its founding in 1898\, The Choir has been attracting thousands of visitors to the annual Bethlehem Bach Festival\, now held on the campus of Lehigh University. \n  \nShare This:
