Saturday, July 15, 10:00am – 3:00pm at the Newbury Town House. FREE. Experienced singers, novices, listeners, history buffs, music lovers, and curiosity seekers are invited to come to the all-day singing and celebrate the music of early Vermont. Come for the day or just stop by to sing or listen as people from all over the Northeast gather to raise their voices. Tunebooks will be provided. Share a potluck dinner at noon and become part of a vital musical community celebrating the shape note tradition whose roots stretch back over 200 years.

The singing will be held in the historic Newbury Center Town House, a building virtually untouched since its construction in 1839. The Town House's wood and plaster interior creates some of the best acoustics anywhere in Vermont. The room promises to ring out with music the way Newbury's Jeremiah Ingalls intended when he composed the songs in his hymnal Christian Harmony published in 1805.
