Death, joy and passion. Sacred Harp, the earliest American music, is not only sharp harmony of protestant hymns, not only words of sorrow and hope. Sacred Harp is life, in the fullest sense of the word. Thousands of people all over the world gather to sing – for one another and for God.
We meet in Warsaw every second Thursday at 7.15 p.m. in Dominicans friary at Freta 10. Some of us are under ten, some over fifty years old. Some have been singing in choirs for years, some have never sung before. Sacred Harp teaches us hope. If you want to join us, feel welcome to the workshop.
