Kenny G Brings 'Smooth Jazz' to Sands: Your Thursday

Some call it smooth jazz. Some call it adult contemporary. Whatever you call it, Kenny G has sold more than 50 million records and made a lot of money.

Tonight at 8, he’ll make some more at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center. Tickets are from $39.50 to $59.50.

Here’s what else is going on in Bethlehem today:

• Christkindlmarkt resumes for its fifth seasonal weekend at SteelStacks, featuring aisles of handmade works by the nation’s finest artisans; traditional and contemporary holiday music; and a variety of food from vendors offering bratwursts, strudel, German roasted almonds, barbeque and more. Today’s hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Walkup tickets are $9 for adults and $5 for children.

• The South Side Branch of the Bethlehem Area Public Library, 400 Webster St., hosts a holiday party at 6:30 p.m. Each child who attends will get to make two ornaments—one for the branch’s tree and one to take home. There will be holiday stories, music, refreshments and a special visitor all dressed in red. Admission is free, but a valid library card and registration is required.

• The Touring Choir of the Lehigh Valley Charter School for the Arts performs a holiday concert at Godfrey Daniels at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10.50 and $5.50 for students.

• The Freedom High School Orchestra holds its Holiday Pops Concert at 7:30 p.m. in the school’s auditorium.

• If you want to hear real jazz, we’d recommend visiting the Musikfest Café, where The Rob Stoneback Big Band, will play authentic swing music at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and $15.

• The Christmas City Follies XIV, the Touchstone Theatre’s vaudevillian celebration of Christmas in Bethlehem, will be performed at 8 p.m. at the theater on 321 E. Fourth St. On Thursdays, Touchstone offers pay-what-you-will at the door, allowing patrons to name their own ticket price.
