Moravian adherence to simplicity and constancy is remarkable considering the pressures of modern times. These values play out in musical practices that enhance community life within and outside the church. Locally, the bands of each Moravian church, the community bands and ensembles they spawned, as well as Moravian congregational and choral singing traditions remain active and vital in our region and continue to contribute to our area's collective spirit and well-being.
