The concert series "366+1, the church resounds 2012" presents songs of the Reformation, performed by thousands of musicians, from the Bodensee to the Baltic Sea. Halfway through the nation-wide concert series, it is now time for impressions and an interim assessment.

Christianity has gained immeasurably from the Protestant hymn, whose beginnings go back to Martin Luther. The concert series "366+1 – the church resounds" is a musical relay race, covering the whole of Germany. One each of the 366 days, a new concert is held in a different church.
