Lincoln's Birthday Singing

Lincoln's Birthday Singing, Saturday, February 8, 3-5 pm

Once again the Chicago Sacred Harp Singers will be presenting a shapenote singing workshop as part of the University of Chicago Folk Festival.

This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce new singers to The Sacred Harp. We will have a short singing school to familiarize new singers with the rudiments of 4-shape singing, and we will sing from the 1991 edition of The Sacred Harp.

Join us on Saturday, February 8, from 3-5 pm in the second floor west library of Ida Noyes Hall, 1212 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637. Come early and enjoy the other workshops and impromptu jam sessions that take place throughout Ida Noyes during the day. The hall resounds with music and dancing.

We look forward to singing with you!
