The Festival Choral Eucharist for Reformation uses a model of the German mass that was adapted by Martin Luther in 1526. Instead of simply having a choral aspect, the service involves both a choral and preaching component. Luther’s goal was to highlight preaching, as well as the sacrament. The service uses various hymns, some of which were written by Luther.
Pre-service music by the Wittenberg Choir, the Wittenberg Handbell Choir and the Wittenberg Brass Choir begins at 7 p.m. The service begins at 7:30 p.m.
