Please join us for our monthly Shape-Note singing:

Sunday, March 12, 1:00 to 3:00 pm
McCullough / Mitchell Green Lounge
Old Chapel Way, Middlebury College

Please note that Daylight Savings Time begins this Sunday, March 12.

Shape note singing is perhaps the oldest American community singing tradition. It started in rural New England over two centuries ago and spread to the rural towns of the mid-West and the deep South, and now across North America, Europe, and Asia.

We sing from the Sacred Harp song book (fasola.org). Loaner books are available. Our sessions are free and open to all. No experience is required. No auditions or rehearsals. We emphasize participation, not performance.

Directions: Mitchell Green Lounge is on the top floor of the McCullough Student Center on Old Chapel Road at Middlebury College. It is accessible by stairs and elevator. Parking is available at adjacent parking lots. Enter from Route 125/College St. or Route 30/S. Main St.
