The Foresingers
The rich
and varied heritage of early German settles in the United States, especially
that of the Mennonites, is celebrated in sacred song by The Foresingers
of Leola, Pennsylvania. Dressed in early American costumes,
the group connects their music with a story representing American church
and family life circa 1825. The only performing group to include some Amish
tunes in their program, The Foresingers primarily use music from the 1804
Gesangbuch, a Mennonite hymnal. This concert should be of special interest
to those interested in the culture of Grantsville and its surroundings,
and has delighted audiences throughout eastern Pennsylvania. |
