Singers at Bluffton University put martyr ballads to modern music

BLUFFTON — Bluffton University hosted Wendy Chappell-Dick and the Anabaptist Singers on Sunday for an event, “Grace to you and Peace: Voices of the Martyrs,” connected to the “Mirror of the Martyrs” exhibit.

Chappell-Dick and the Anabaptist singers performed Anabaptist martyr ballads set to contemporary music. More than 20 songs were adapted by Chappell-Dick for the performance at Bluffton University Yonder Recital Hall. Almost a dozen Bluffton community members lent their voices to the performance.

The “Mirror of the Martyrs,” a traveling exhibit, will be on display at Bluffton University through Nov. 5.
