Midsummer’s Dream, led by Laurie Arnold: July 2, at 8:15 pm
Laurie Arnold will guide us as we take a look at mid-life, mid-story, and the middle, where often there is a sense of lostness and renewed possibility. We will gather new vision for our journey through writing exercises and discussion.

Sacred Harp, led by Charles Anderson: July 9, at 8:15 pm
Enjoy singing tunes in three- and four-part harmony from the oldest American tune book in continuous print (since 1844). Joining in this joyful American singing tradition is easy and enjoyable. All tunes are carefully taught, one part at a time. Beginners welcome!

• What is the “Sacred Harp”? The Sacred Harp” is a collection of tunes from many sources – British and American folk tunes, 18th century “Fuguing Tunes”, 19th century Camp Meeting songs, Southern Gospel songs, and newly composed tunes – written out in shape-note notation and arranged in three or four parts. The first edition was printed in 1844, the most recent in 1991.
• What is a Sacred Harp Sing? Singers of all ages and abilities gather to enjoy each other’s musical company in singing tunes from the Sacred Harp tune book. The singers sit in the traditional “hollow square” formation, a tune number is called out, pitched by the leader, and with an up-and-down motion of the leader’s arm, the group is off and singing. Each tune is sung first “by the notes”, then in parts with the words, and a glorious harmony emerges.
