Calendar of upcoming local singings
We are an informal, friendly group of people from the greater Albany, N.Y., area who sing Sacred Harp music together. Sacred Harp is traditional, a cappella, community harmony singing. All our events are free of charge and open to newcomers, all ages, all voices, and all levels of musical (in)experience. Loaner books and explanations are available at the singings. Please explore our website and find out more about us and the music.

LOGISTICAL DETAILS
- Weekly indoor singing has resumed at St George's in the Schenectady Stockade. Please read the details below carefully (and contact us with any questions), so that you understand what COVID precautions are (and are not) in place.
- In the nave (main church building) of St George's Episcopal Church, 30 N Ferry St, Schenectady NY 12305. If your destination is the parking lot, navigate to 214 Green St, Schenectady, NY 12305.
- The side door (after you come down the stairs from parking lot) and the west (Ferry St) door will both be unlocked.
- Feel free to invite additional singers. We always love to welcome new singers (and several have come recently) and can provide loaner books (Sacred Harp, 1991).
- Obviously, do not come if you have experienced questionable symptoms, if you may have been exposed recently, or if the level of risk remaining in this event is more than you should run.
- We are fortunate to have a very well ventilated space. There are two exhaust fans in the very high ceiling that remove air directly through the roof. Doors will be opened as weather permits.
- The church is designed to seat 400, so we will space out carefully, with attention to distance and to not unnecessarily singing *at* others over shorter distances. But note, the majority of singers have been singing without masks under these conditions.
- Recognizing that such a set-up may not be advisable for everyone, and that there are no perfect answers or arguments about some risk factors, please feel free to contact me or express to the group particular concerns, suggestions, etc.
