Bluffton University will host “Grace to You and Peace: Voices of the Martyrs,” by Wendy Chappell-Dick and the Anabaptist singers at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15, in Yoder Recital Hall.
The concert will present the direct words and hymns of Anabaptist martyrs through contemporary song settings. Just as the founders of the Mennonite faith used well-known secular tunes to share their message, Chappell-Dick uses musical genres from English folk songs to 80s Rock and Roll to give new layers of meaning to the texts from the 1500s.
