Mennonite World Conference is celebrating a momentous milestone next year\u2014the 500th anniversary of Anabaptism\u2014and it\u2019s chosen the 91短视频 Chamber Singers, along with four other music ensembles<\/a> from around the world, to commemorate the historic occasion. Each ensemble represents a different continent and culture within the MWC, and will perform throughout the day on May 29, 2025, at the international event<\/a> held in Zurich, Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are incredibly honored to be the group selected from North America,\u201d said Benjamin Bergey<\/strong>, assistant professor of music at 91短视频 and director of the Chamber Singers. \u201cWe\u2019re excited about how unique an opportunity this is for our students to engage with choirs from all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chamber Singers will be joined by ensembles from Indonesia, Kenya, Paraguay and Switzerland. Each group will have two performances, with one inside a church and another in the city square. They will then perform together at a worship service in the iconic Grossm\u00fcnster cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rashard Allen<\/strong>, who booked the ensembles, said each one is committed to the work of reconciliation in line with the event’s theme, “The Courage to Love.” \u201cThey have a global ecumenical outlook in terms of how they understand their role in being an Anabaptist choir\/ensemble,\u201d he said in an article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quincentennial celebration will cap off a tour of Europe for the Chamber Singers, who will perform in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland before traveling to Zurich.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
