Sacred Harp, or Shape Note singing, uses shaped note heads to help the reader in sight-reading. No prior experience singing is necessary. All tunes are sung a capella in full voice, and the music rings with strong harmonies and memorable melodies. Come experience music which has been sung in a continuous tradition since the Revolutionary War. All singers are welcome.
