MUSIC @ PLYMOUTH
From its earliest days, music has played an important role in the life of Plymouth Church. The congregation's first minister, Henry Ward Beecher, believed that singing deepened the spiritual connection to worship and encouraged the congregation to raise their voices together in harmony.
