Texas Christian Church Hosting Illinois Sacred Harp Convention

Texas Christian Church is hosting the 32nd Illinois Sacred Harp Convention from 9:30am to 3:00pm Saturday, September 17.
 
Singers from all over the Midwest will gather to recreate the unique 4 part a capella harmonies of shape note singing at the convention.
 
The Sacred Harp is the most widespread shape-note tune book still in use and has given its name to this group of singers. No attempt of formal instruction will be made at the convention and a bountiful "dinner on the ground" will be served at midday.
 
The event is free and open to the public. Signs at the intersection of Little Galilee Rd. and U.S. 51 eleven miles north of Decatur, will direct you to the sing. Loaner books are provided and listeners and learners are welcome. Visitors may stay as little or as much as they wish. For more information contact Terry Hogg at 217-358-8255.
