Please join us for traditional early American community singing - a cappella, 4-part harmony - from the Sacred Harp song book. Loaner books are available.

This music began in the late 1700s in early New England villages and then spread to the mid-West, the deep South, and now, all across North America, Europe, and Asia. It's been called "bluegrass Gregorian chanting," "18th century a cappella heavy metal," and "full-body, shout-it-out singing."

No experience is required. No auditions. We encourage participation, not performance. We simply love to sing together. All are welcome.

DIRECTIONS:
Mitchell Green Lounge is located on the top floor of the McCullough Student Center and is accessible by stairs and elevator. Parking is available on Old Chapel Road and adjacent parking lots. Enter from Rte. 125/College St. or Rte. 30/S. Main St. GPS: 14 Old Chapel Road, 05753.
