Bloomington Sacred Harp

Nearby All-day Singings, Spring 2012

The best way to really get a feel for the Sacred Harp is to attend an all-day singing.  Dozens of folks gather from all over the country to sing hard and enjoy one another’s fellowship.  We sing for a few hours in the morning, starting around 10AM.  We then break for a sumptuous dinner on the grounds, which is the best home-cooked lunch you’ve ever laid eyes on, and sing again until the early afternoon.  Many singings last for two days, however, you can come and go as you please.  No registration is required.

Bloomington is privileged to be centered among many great Midwestern singings, and there are several coming up this spring.  Among them:

• February 12th: Lincoln’s Birthday Singing, Ida Noyes Hall 1212 East 59th Street, Chicago IL.  1PM – 3PM.
