Spring Music Festival at Appalachian Bible College - April 3, 2026

The music department of Appalachian Bible College presents the 2026 Spring Music Festival entitled “Old Refrains… New Strains.” The public is invited with free admission. The concert will also be streamed at abc.edu/live.

I have considered the days of old…I call to remembrance my song” (Psalm 71:5-6).

Throughout Scripture, believers are reminded to look to the past faithfulness of God for encouragement during present sufferings. Music was often used to record those occurrences such as Moses’s song when Israel left Egypt, the many Psalms of David, or even the Christology recorded in the early church hymn of Philippians 2.

The 2026 Spring Festival first half looks backwards to “Old Refrains” featuring fun, toe-tapping songs from early Americana; while the second half looks forward to the “New Strains” of praise to our God that we sing now and will sing throughout eternity.

Representatives of our entire ABC family — from the children of the youth ensemble to the staff joining the students in the Chorale and Jubilate — participate in this musical extravaganza sure to put a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
