Young Pianist’s Music to Benefit Seriously Ill Children

Lower Saucon resident Dominic Behe, 15, will be striking the keys for a cause this holiday season. The young musician plans to donate 20 percent of his earnings to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

St. Jude's Research Hospital is a world leader in the treatment and prevention of pediatric catastrophic diseases. Since the hospital opened in 1962, the overall survival rates for childhood cancers have increased to 80 percent from less than 20 percent, thanks in part to St. Jude's groundbreaking research. 

“There isn't any cause more important than saving children's lives,” says Behe, who hopes to make a small difference with his donations.

Behe plays piano regularly at the Hotel Bethlehem’s historic 1741 On the Terrace restaurant, and will be entertaining patrons with holiday favorites at the hotel’s Christmas City Lunch Buffets. The youngest member of the Lehigh University Philharmonic, Behe also plays violin. He sings with the Irish music quartet the Four Leaf Clovers, and accompanies them on fiddle, accordion, guitar, harmonica and concertina.  

Behe is available to play at holiday parties, church functions and special occasions. He can be reached at d.b.behe@gmail.com or by calling 610-838-7151.
