Stores are not open on Sundays (maybe a couple of times a year only), but restaurants are.
Bavaria is the most religious (catholic) state in Germany, with the most holidays. They observe Good Friday and the Monday after Easter as well (Ostermontag).
AFAIK, the Frauenkirche does have a choir. Here's the web site (but the calendar only goes until March 20th).

Thanks for the info. and the link on the Frauenkirche. If anyone has any more specific info on the openings and closings, it would be appreciated. I assumed that stores would be closed on Easter Sunday, but wasn't sure if it was like Christmas in London, where virtually everything is shut down including trains, museums, many restaurants, etc. Or if restaurants would be open, but if you didn't have a reservation, you wouldn't have a chance at a table.

Doh! I use
www.bahn.de all the time. I just had it in my head that the trains from the airport were subway trains (even though they are really S-Bahn) and didn't think about
www.bahn.de. Thanks!
