The Moravian community has been in North Carolina since 1753. Anyone who has been to Old Salem during the holiday season knows how important music is to Moravian life. Advent and Christmas time in Moravian NC bustles with brass band performances, carols, and chorales. In celebration of the meditative, minimal music of Moravia in North Carolina, we’ve written a new blog post, available via our link in bio. It explores the history and meaning of Moravian Christmas music in Forsythe County and beyond.
