Sacred Harp Singing
Led by David Elsenbroich and
Andrea Tzvetkov
Sacred Harp is a uniquely American singing tradition where people sing songs in three and four-part harmony from a tune book called, The Sacred Harp. The music is written in notation using four shaped-notes, and is a proudly inclusive living tradition. Participants will learn about what shape-note singing is, how to read the music, and by the end will be singing four-part harmony in the Sacred Harp tradition. No singing or sight-reading experience is required, all are welcome!
