Named after a collection of songs first published in 1844, the Sacred Harp singing tradition has spread from the protestant chapels of the southern states of America to the pubs, clubs and community centres of secular northern Europe. Nowadays, people from all walks of life meet to sing these simple, but infectious, four-part a-cappella arrangements, and to enjoy the unique fraternity of the Sacred Harp community. The Hamburg Sacred Harp Singers are constantly looking for new members to help sing “A Glad New Song” [530].

Please note:
- We are super delighted that Eva Striebeck is doing a Singing School on the first Tuesdays of the month. That'll give us some space to look into and try out ideas, traditions and practical matters. It is aimed at people who already know one or two things about what we're doing.
- The Fifth Germany Sacred Harp Singing Convention takes place in Cologne on 26-28 May 2018. More information here.
