Once a widespread musical style in early 19^th century America, this music almost died out at the turn of the 20^th century. Now experiencing a renaissance full of new compositions and new tunebooks, this traditional American style of music is as vibrant as ever. Come learn and join in singing this uniquely American style of hymnody.

For those who are new to the tradition or need a refresher, the first 30 mins will include a primer, teaching everything you need to know to participate.

We’ll be singing from The Sacred Harp (’91). Books will be available for loan or sale at the event. This event is partially sponsored by the MMF’s Irving Lowens and Provincial Tunebook collections.
