At 2 p.m., Saturday, Wendy Chappell-Dick will present a musical program of favorite hymns, at the Swiss Community Historical Society's Schumacher's homestead, 8350 Bixel Road, Bluffton.
Hymns are from the Radical Reformation through the local Swiss settlers' immigration and assimilation process, tracing musical influences on Mennonite music from various folk traditions.
The hymn arrangements are done for dulcimer, guitar and vocals, and combine secular songs with religious works of similar influence.
Three concerts are planned this week in Sauder Visual Arts Center on the Bluffton University campus. Each concert is at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, according to Wendy Chappell-Dick.
The performances are connected to "From Swords to Plowshares," art exhibit in the center.
Performing on Thursday is Doug Adams. Performing on Friday is Chappell-Dick. Performing on Saturday are Adams and Chappell-Dick. Saturday's performance is a sing-along.
