You are invited to sing shape note music from the Sacred Harp every month at Bloor/Spadina in Toronto. Everyone is welcome, no experience or religious affiliation necessary. The singing is participatory, not a performance or rehearsal, and there are songbooks to borrow.
Singers sit divided by voice part (treble/soprano, alto, tenor, and bass) in a “hollow square” formation. The music is sung in a strong, rhythmically-accented style.
The Toronto community has been singing shape note music together since 2000, and we have never cancelled a monthly singing. Visit our Facebook group or email us for Toronto singing details. For general information about the Sacred Harp and listings of regular singings in Canada and around the world, visit www.fasola.org.
