Update as of August 20:

Sam Amidon is hosting a Sacred Harp event at Little Island! Sunday, August 31, 6 to 8:30; shapenote singers are encouraged to come between 5 and 5:30 for snacks and conversation. Bring your Red Book if you can, though there will be packets -- and new songs. 

This year’s New York City All Day Singing (September 20th) will use the brand-new 2025 Edition of The Sacred Harp. And we now have a location: Church of the Village, 13th Street and 7th Avenue, Manhattan. Books will be available at the singing. Full info to follow. Find more general information about the new edition of the book (and its new typeface and its debut singing) here.

There are Sacred Harp singings in New York City most Wednesdays and some weekends. No singing experience is necessary, and all are welcome to attend. Books are available for loan or purchase at every gathering.
