Singers are requested to be cautious and mindful, staying home with any symptoms of colds or flu and protecting the health of our family of singers. We will ensure a well-ventilated building.

Come and join us in making music together in Maine.
All are welcome; no experience necessary!

*At our Second Annual Peter Golden Memorial singing on Sunday morning, July 27, we will be singing from a draft copy of The Northern Harp or Maine Harmonic Companion. If you would like to look this over, and perhaps try a few tunes before the Memorial singing, you can find a digital copy here:

If you are willing and able to use your digital copy at the singing, that would ease up the demand for paper copies, which would be helpful.
