Save The Date: Singing School in Deerfield - March 2, 2019!

The Chicago Sacred Harp singers have been invited to join Anne Heider at a singing school that she will be conducting at the First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield, 824 Waukegan Road, on Saturday, March 2, 2019

Anne needs a large turnout of experienced singers to help since they are expecting a large turnout of inexperienced singers. The plan is to have coffee/tea/pastries/etc. available starting at 9:00am, with the singing school to begin at 9:30am, have a break mid-morning, and end at noon. In addition, the pastor will DONATE round-trip train tickets for the first 20 singers who promise to return the next morning to sing 2 songs in their regular Sunday worship service!

There’s a Metra station a block from the church, and yes, the trains from Union Station do run on weekends. It’s about a 55-minute ride from Union Station to Deerfield ($6.75 each way). Carpooling is also an excellent way to go — there’s ample free parking available.
