There are Sacred Harp singings in Manhattan most Wednesdays, and shape-note singings from The Sacred Harp and other books on some weekends.

The Midweek Singing:

Weekly on Wednesdays, 6:00 – 8:15 pm. (We are starting a half hour earlier as of June 2024.)

St. John's Lutheran Church
81 Christopher St. (bet. Bleecker & W. 4th Sts., near 7th Ave. S.)
Greenwich Village, Manhattan

This singing uses one book: The Sacred Harp. Books available for loan or purchase!

Update as of October 2:

"We meet for Midweek singing on Wednesday, October 2, but NOT as usual; we will be at our lovely uptown alternative space, Liza M.'s church at 309 West 74th St., between West End and Riverside Drive. I gather provisions were made to get loaners up there, but bring your own if you can. Usual time, 6 to 8:15."

Monthly Seven-Shape Singings

On Saturdays before the fourth Sunday each month, we sing from the Christian Harmony (2010) and Mull's Convention 7, both seven-shape books, at Menno House (314 East 19th St, east of 2nd Ave) from 2:00 to 5:00.

Note: this event occurs irregularly during the winter season, so please join our Google Group or Facebook to confirm!

Update as of June 10:

June's Christian Harmony singing will be on the fifth, not the fourth, weekend: that is, Saturday, June 29.

Ad-Hoc Outdoor Singings

On fair-weather Wednesdays, we sometimes convene to sing at Prospect Park’s Litchfield Villa. Please sign up for our Google Group or join our Facebook group to hear about those singings.
