FPCN Happenings

Sacred Harp

Sacred Harp is a participatory a cappella singing tradition with roots in 18th Century New England and the Deep South. The music is a potent mixture of unfettered raw-boned harmonies and driving rhythms, coupled to unvarnished Calvinist poetry. Sacred Harp singing was featured in the 2003 film Cold Mountain, as well as the recent PBS documentary, Awake My Soul. Visit the Newbury Sacred Harp site for more information on Sacred Harp singing.

Sacred Harp Singing happens every 3rd Sunday of each month at FPCN. Singing is from 3:00pm - 5:30pm.
