Albany All-Day Singing, June 10
I will be serving as chair this year of the Albany-Area New York State Regional All Day Singing. This is the only All-Day Sacred Harp singing in Eastern New York, and is held in the Old Songs Building, an 1880s structure in Voorheesville, NY with excellent acoustics (and the site of my thesis show in March). I hope many of you can come to the singing. It’s a good strong singing that usually draws around 60 people, but it’s cozy enough not to be too intimidating. And, you’ll have plenty of chances to lead! Official announcement follows:
Dear singing friends,
Come join us for the Albany Area New York State Regional Sacred Harp Singing on Saturday, June 10, from 10 AM to 4 PM with pot luck dinner at 12:30 PM at the Old Songs building, 37 South Main Street, Voorheesville, New York.
No experience is necessary. Tunebooks will be available. Come for as much or as little of the singing as you wish.
Voorheesville is a short 20 minute drive from New York Thruway exit 24 or Crossgates Mall in Albany and an easy drive from neighboring Schenectady or Troy. Boston and New York City are less than 3 hours away.
The Old Songs building is fully handicapped accessible. It does have a refrigerator but no stove, so please bring food ready to serve.
You can find a map and detailed directions to the Old Songs building on the Old Songs web site.
From Route 20/Western Ave. take Route 155 south toward Voorheesville 3.2 miles; turn right on Voorheesville Ave. Follow into village (about 1/2 mile); turn right on S. Main St. (look for Stewarts Shop at that corner). 37 South Main is across from Stewarts. Parking is available behind Voorheesville Carpet Co., down the street on your right.
We hope to see and sing with you there.
