Sacred Harp Singing and Potluck: "Back to School Singing School"
Advertisement
All are welcome to come learn to sing from the Sacred Harp!
A catered potluck meal is provided for this singing.
No cost or experience required!
"How To" session at 3:30 -- Singing & Potluck from 4-6PM.
Sacred Harp is a uniquely American tradition that brings communities together to sing four-part hymns and anthems. It is a proudly inclusive and democratic part of our shared cultural heritage.
All events welcome beginners and newcomers, no musical experience or religious affiliation required. Though Sacred Harp is not affiliated with any denomination, it is a deeply spiritual experience for all involved, and functions as a religious observance for many singers. The tradition was born from colonial “singing schools” whose purpose was to teach beginners to sing and our methods continue to reflect this goal.
Sacred Harp “singings” are not performances. There are no rehearsals and no separate seats for an audience. Every singing is a unique and self-sufficient event with a different group of assembled participants. The singers sit in a hollow square formation with one voice part on each side, all facing inwards so we can see and hear each other. However, visitors are always welcome to sit anywhere in the room and participate as listeners.
