Come sing with us!
We sing together in Schenectady each Saturday afternoon, 1-3:30pm. 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.
