Come sing with us!
We sing together in St George's Episcopal Church, Schenectady (currently in the main church building: details below), most Saturday afternoons, 1-3:30pm. (Please always confirm with the calendar below.) All are welcome!
Yes! We will have everything you need... * a warm welcome * a tunebook to borrow * a cup of tea * explanations/instruction as you may require.
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 (or contact us) and find out more about us and the music.

LOCATION
- Starting in May 2025, because of construction in the Great Hall, we are (temporarily, we think) relocating to inside the church building. Enter the old stone church from the side door near the parking lot (though we will also unlock the main west doors facing Ferry St), and take a right. We are singing in the Lady Chapel (east end of the church, behind the high altar).
- The church's address is 30 N Ferry St 12305, but direct your GPS to 208 Green St for the parking lot. While we are singing in the church building and not the Great Hall, singers needing wheelchair accessibility should park on Ferry St and enter by the main west doors facing Ferry St.
(4th?) Sunday potluck and "other book" house singing
Location: Niskayuna NY 12309
