Listeners pack Reformation hymnfest

TACOMA — Nary an empty seat was to be found Sunday, Oct. 31, as Gloria Dei Lutheran Church celebrated its 20th annual Reformation Sunday Hymn Festival.
The couple hundred who attended heard the Evergreen Brass Quintet and the Tacoma Youth Chorus Chorale, as well as something new this year, the Class Act Barbershop Quartet.
A crowd favorite was the Sons of Thunder Men's Gospel Choir from the Allen A.M.E. Church.
In all, more than a dozen groups and soloists performed in the event that's become a hallmark of autumn. — RP
