From the text of a lecture given by Mr. Vardell in the Winston-Salem chapter of the Torch Club, while he was Dean of Music at Salem College.
Wherever the Moravians settled, either in America or abroad, music became a focal center of the cultural and the religious life of pioneer communities, however remote. – Howard Rondthaler, President, Salem College
Bethabara Diary
July 8, 1762:
Reaping continued. Br. Graff set up in our Saal the organ he brought from Bethlehem; and during the Singstunde in the evening we heard an organ played for the first time in Carolina and were very happy and thankful that it had reached us safely.
