About Us
Our Story
Olde Towne Carolers was founded in 2005 by professional soprano Jennifer Graf-Domijan. A lifelong fan of holiday music, Jennifer saw the need for this niche form of entertainment to bring nostalgic joy to the Christmas season.
Olde Towne Carolers started small, but now includes over 150 carolers in 10 states, who perform for special events, corporate parties, tree lightings, country clubs, shopping malls, retirement homes, festivals, and so much more. They also offer additional holiday acts in certain geographical regions.
We sing traditional Christmas music in rich harmonies, from old classic carols to newer 20th century standards.
OTC’s performance highlights include:
- The Rachael Ray Show (2 appearances)
- Opening for Pentatonix (3 times)
- Opening for Olivia Newton-John
- Disney’s A Christmas Carol Train Tour
- WFMZ-69’s “Music Monday” (annually since 2011)
- NBC10 News
- 6ABC News
- WPSG CW-57 News
- Blue Bloods Christmas party (annually)
- Christkindlmarkt (Bethlehem, PA)
- Easton Winter Village
Olde Towne Carolers also serve as the resident carolers for Longwood Gardens, appearing almost every evening throughout the entire holiday season.
When you hire Olde Towne Carolers, you not only hire the top professional singers in your area, but you also work with an established company that has been in business for over 20 years. Our singers are used to performing in all kinds of venues and situations: sometimes we’re the center of attention, and sometimes we provide pleasing background music instead. We can stroll throughout the entire area, or simply entertain in one location, such as onstage or in front of a Christmas tree.
Ms. Graf-Domijan continues to run almost every aspect of Olde Towne Carolers, including personally overseeing the hiring of every singer, which assures the highest quality of performers for every booking.
Our company has exceptionally low performer turnover, and we’re proud of the loyalty of our singers – we’re all one big family! We never outsource to other companies. All gigs are handled by our family of carolers.
OTC is not only a proud woman-owned business, but it’s also a family business: Jennifer’s mother sews and manages the costumes for the entire company (with occasional help from seamstress friends!)
The company has a strong, established reputation for reliability, high performance standards, and personal customer service, which is why satisfied clients return year after year.
Our company strategies have been copied and imitated by other companies looking to mimic our success – but they never quite get it right.
The joy we bring to our listeners is exceptionally fulfilling and emotionally rewarding. The holidays always inevitably end up feeling stressful and overwhelming. As a result, people often become jaded and cynical about the holidays. But the power of music lifts the listener out of that stressful place and takes them back to a time when Christmas was a time of magic and wonder. Touching the hearts of our listeners never gets old.
