Come sing with us!
We sing together in Schenectady each Saturday afternoon, 1-3:30pm. (However, please check the calendar below.) All are welcome! (Please do not attend if you are feeling ill or have been recently exposed to a serious illness such as COVID.)
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 214 Green St for the parking lot. There is a door leading directly from the parking lot to the Great Hall, on your right just before you go down the stairs to the church. (No stairs involved: wheelchair accessible!)
(4th?) Sunday potluck and "other book" house singing
Location: Niskayuna NY 12309
