Thank you for visiting our website and seeking out Baltimore singers of Shape Note music. Sacred Harp style singing, a powerful and participatory form of a cappella music, has deep roots in American history, characterized by its unique “fa-so-la” notation system and rich harmonies. We are dedicated to carrying on this living tradition, gathering together to sing in a style that has been passed down through generations.
Our website is designed to connect you with local groups throughout Maryland. Here, you’ll find contact information for communities near you, as well as a comprehensive calendar that lists both regional and local singings, from large conventions to small gatherings. We hope this resource helps you find your place in our vibrant singing tradition.
