A Mighty Fortress: Music Celebrating 500 Years of Protestant Reformation

Our own Mike Henyon and Mara Snyder will be performing with the Frederick Chorale on March 19, 2017, 3 p.m. and March 20, 2017, 7 p.m. at Evangelical Lutheran Church, 35 E Church Street • Frederick, MD 21701.  To celebrate the Protestant Reformation here at home, this concert will highlight the hymn, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” lyrics and music written by Martin Luther.  In addition, the Chorale will sing Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 and a sampler of Protestant music with early American roots: hymns, religious folk songs, and spirituals that both reflected and shaped our country’s national identity.
