Bethlehem, Lehigh Valley, PA., May 4, 2024, – Join us during MusikFest week at the\u00a0Musikfest Caf\u00e9 in the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Saturday, August 10 at 5:30 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0to be a part of a historic event that was designed to pay homage to the Bethlehem Steel Company Band.<\/p>\n

The Bethlehem Steel Company Band was originally a Christmas present to a community overcoming upheaval; this legacy band provides high quality music making opportunities for performers and meaningful communication through music for the audience by using historic period-style music.<\/p>\n

Any brass, woodwind and percussion instrumentalist of\u00a0all ages<\/strong>\u00a0can participate. The Bethlehem Steel Company Legacy Band will rehearse prior to the performance on Friday, August 9 at Liberty High School from 2:30 until 6 p.m. Participants are given the music to work with one month prior to the performance which will be conducted by\u00a0Dr. Joshua E. Long, PhD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am looking forward to bringing musicians together,\u201d commented Dr. Long, \u201cnot only to perform, but also to pay homage to a historical industrial band that existed in the Bethlehem area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instrumentalist registration can be found at\u00a0artmusicemporium.com\u00a0<\/a>. Simply fill out the form and pay the performance fee \u2013 includes music and delivery, a shirt for the event and participation at the venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy focus for this event is to educate on the importance of these late 19th<\/sup>\u00a0and early 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century bands to their communities, especially since so many appreciated the Bethlehem Steel Company Band when it was formed in 1910,\u201d continues Dr. Long. \u201cThrough performing initiatives of teaching, research, podcasts and events such as this one, my hope is to encourage others to participate in live music making opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are interested in sponsoring and promoting the historic industry band through this event, please contact the\u00a0Art & Music Emporium<\/a>.<\/p>\n
