In the nineteenth century, American artists sought to capture the unique character of the North American landscape, from iconic landmarks to intimate countryside views. Drawing from the Allentown Art Museum’s permanent collection, this exhibition explores mountains, waterfalls, pastures, and wilderness scenes while also examining how these idealized landscapes can obscure ecological damage and colonial violence.

Gunhild Carling is Sweden’s Queen of Swing, Jazz, and Vaudeville — a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and entertainer who has captivated audiences on every continent.

Born into the legendary Carling Family musical dynasty, Gunhild Carling picked up her first instrument before she could walk and has never stopped playing since. Today she commands the trombone, trumpet, recorder, ukulele, piano, harmonica, bagpipes, and more — sometimes several in a single performance.

With over 70 million views on YouTube and a global following that spans from jazz purists to curious newcomers, Gunhild has become one of the most recognized jazz artists of her generation. Her electrifying performances with Postmodern Jukebox introduced her to millions, while her residencies at Birdland in New York City cemented her reputation among the jazz elite.

She has toured with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra under the direction of Scotty Barnhart, performed at the world’s most prestigious jazz festivals, and brought her unique brand of swing and vaudeville to stages from Carnegie Hall to the streets of New Orleans. Whether she’s leading her own big band, performing an intimate club set, or dazzling a festival crowd of thousands, Gunhild Carling delivers an experience that is utterly unforgettable.

Wildlands Conservancy’s Stream Team Volunteers – 2026!
Dates: Fridays, May 29 – Sept. 25, 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM at various locations – check out our website for more information.

If you’re ready to go with the flow, join us as we maintain vegetative areas along streams (riparian buffers) and help ensure the survival of young, native trees in the forest buffer. These vital areas improve water quality in local communities, reduce erosion and flooding concerns, and provide habitat for wildlife.

Repairing vegetative streamside areas, also called riparian buffers, is a science-based method to:
• Improving water quality by reducing pollutants entering waterways through runoff, providing clean drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in local communities.
• Restoring habitat for fish and native birds by planting native vegetation that provides sustenance and cools the water temperature.
• Reducing flooding downstream.
Stream Team is an act of environmental stewardship, which is our guiding principle to protecting and restoring our critical waterways that are the lifeblood of the Lehigh Valley and Lehigh River.

Stream Team is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, college students, and community groups. Volunteers are encouraged to register for multiple dates and locations at: https://www.wildlandspa.org/streamteam/.

They don't just pay tribute to the legendary band, Almost Queen transports you back in time to experience the magic and essence of Queen themselves. This deliberate four-piece band is "guaranteed to blow your mind" with iconic four-part harmonies and expertly executed musical interludes. Almost Queen's impressive tribute to Queen is nothing short of breathtaking. The band's authenticity shines through in their impeccable attention to detail and genuine costumes, while their live energy and precision will leave music fans of all ages with an unforgettable concert experience.

Almost Queen's concerts are a true testament to the band's love for Queen's music. Fans often travel long distances just to experience Almost Queen's carefully curated setlist featuring Queen's best-loved songs, like “Somebody to Love,” “Don't Stop Me Now,” “Fat Bottomed Girls,“ and “Radio Ga Ga.” Almost Queen occasionally plays some lesser-known album tracks, such as “Flash,” “Spread Your Wings,” and “Love of My Life,” as well as other hidden gems. And of course, no Queen tribute concert would be complete without classics like “Bohemian Rhapsody,“ “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are the Champions!” It's no wonder fans keep coming back for more, attending again and again to experience the music of Queen in a manner that only Almost Queen delivers.
