Shape Note Singing at John C Campbell Folk School

The John C Campbell Folk School will host the 19th annual Christian Harmony Shape Note Singing on July 9 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Music Studio of Davidson Hall.  The event is free, but please bring a potluck dish for the 12:30 "dinner on the grounds."

Originally published in 1866, William Walker's Christian Harmony is the oldest seven shape collection to have remained in continuous use, primarily in Western North Carolina and North Georgia. The Folk School's annual singing draws more than 70 singers from four states.
