Frequently
Asked Questions |
|
How far in advance should I
book Olde Towne Carolers?
Contact us for booking as soon
as you have your dates set for your event – the earlier
in the year, the better. We get the majority of our inquiries
in October and November and by the time December arrives,
we are usually quite booked for the season. However, we
have been able to fit in last-minute inquiries in the past,
so always try! |
|
What kind of repertoire does
Olde Towne Carolers perform?
We perform a very vast selection
of holiday music - from sacred to secular, from old to
new, and covering many cultures and languages. In addition
to well known standards, we also include rare gems not
as frequently heard. We also specialize in Austrian and
German carols. See our Services
and Repertoire page for a sample
song list. |
|
Can I request specific
Christmas songs?
You
may absolutely request specific songs! If you let us know
your request in advance, we will work to have that piece
in place for your event. We can even organize our Christmas
party music into special groups or themes if you would
like us to – just
let us know ahead of time. If you or one of your guests
requests a piece while the event is going on, we will definitely
perform it if it is in our book! |
|
Can I book more than one service
or caroling group for my event?
You can book as many services
or groups as you need! Very often we will be asked to send
out a caroling group and a brass quartet to the same party.
Or the Piano and Voice Duo to switch off with the Carolers.
We can even send multiple caroling groups if your event
is large or longer than four hours. |
|
Will Olde Towne Carolers travel
for a performance?
Olde Towne Carolers is always willing
to travel for an event. Even though we perform primarily
in eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey, we've
also performed in New York City, Ohio, Delaware, and Maryland.
We are not simply just Allentown carolers! But please keep
in mind that traveling long distances will involve an additional
travel fee. |
|
How
long is a typical holiday caroling booking?
|
The majority of our engagements are 1-2 hours
long. But some are substantially longer than that. Any performance
over an hour long will include breaks for our musicians. |
|
What kind of training do your
musicians have?
All of our musicians are professional musicians.
Most have multiple college degrees in music and all perform
professionally in the region in many various performance
groups. Olde Towne Carolers does not hold open auditions.
Founder Jennifer Graf personally selects every singer from
her various professional musical ventures. Assistant Director
Brian Smith personally selects each brass player from
the area’s best groups.
All of our musicians are talented, hard-working, and trustworthy.
See our Performer Bios page
for specific details about everyone! |
|
Where does Olde Towne Carolers
get their costumes?
Our costumes are truly unique! The majority
of our costumes are hand-made by Lynn Graf, mother of our
group’s
founder. We are very grateful for her talents and time! |
|
We loved Olde Towne
Carolers! Where can we get a recording of your Christmas
party music?
|
Olde Towne Carolers does not have its own
CD recording yet, but many of our singers are featured on
Jennifer Graf’s CD release Echoes
of Christmas Past. Also featured are the keyboard skills
of Terry Musselman. You can also hear Jennifer and Terry
on Ms. Graf’s CD Tidings
of Christmas. |
