Mainstreet Brass As Trinity Church celebrates Reformation Sunday, the Mainstreet Brass joins us for worship at both morning services. This ensemble, based out of the Lehigh Valley, has toured Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, New England, the Midwest and the United Kingdom. The quintet will perform works as an ensemble as well as participate in the service music with Trinity’s Reuter organ.
Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble Back by popular demand, the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble returns to help us “ring in” the Christmas Season. Last year they dazzled us with not only seasonal repertoire, but mastered timeless works like Bach’s Gigue Fugue! Do not miss another great opportunity to hear this ensemble of incredible volunteer musicians!
Christmas at Fifth and Chestnut As we journey through Advent and into the week of Christmas, join us for a Christmas Festival. To celebrate the season, the festival will include music by each of Trinity’s four choirs, seasonal music played on Trinity’s Reuter organ, and congregational singing of some favorite carols! The candlelight celebration will be preceded by dinner at 5:00 p.m. Please contact the church office to RSVP for dinner.

Some of their venues have included MayFair, Waldheim’s, Allentown, Bethlehem, Lehighton, Lancaster, Stroudsburg, and Toms River.

Their repertoire can include musical tracks, live music, and a cappella style songs.
