Join us to sing music from the Sacred Harp and Shenandoah Harmony songbooks. All are welcome, whatever your level of singing ability! Our meetings are for building community rather than polished performance.

The Sacred Harp and Shenandoah Harmony are collections of hymn tunes, mostly from the 1700 and 1800s. They’re written in shape-note notation, an old-fashioned style that helps in learning music. Some of the songs are jaunty, dance-like tunes; some are slow and eerie; and some have rambunctious choruses that come straight out of a 19th-century camp meeting. While the songs are Christian hymns, we don’t discuss religion during our singings, and singers from any tradition and anywhere on the religious/non-religious spectrum are very welcome. Listeners are always welcome, too.
