After several months with very little Sacred Harp singing, I have just realized that I could be travelling the northeast each of the next 4 weekends for 1 or 2 day singings. I'm not the organizer for any of these so I'll give the bare bones in case any of you have thought about checking it out. An all day event is truly the best way to experience it. All of these are free & open to the public. Loaner books should be available. Pot luck lunches at noon.

Saturday March 10th and Sunday March 11th
Western Massachusetts Sacred Harp Singing Convention
