EVERYONE IS WELCOME ~ NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

THE SACRED HARP continues a 200-year-old American tradition
of singing non-denominational hymns and gospel songs, written with shaped note heads. Singers sit in a hollow square facing the center and sing four parts, a cappella, with uninhibited vigor.

THE MUSIC has a distinctive open and modal sound, and the singing is exuberant, rhythmic, and full of feeling.

Visitors are encouraged to join in the singing, or they are welcome to just listen.

~TUNEBOOKS will be available on loan, or you may purchase a book at the singing~
~POTLUCK DINNER ON THE GROUNDS provided by local host singers~
~CHILD CARE will be available~
