"being loud together: a shape-note singing school with nineteenth-century tunebooks
― with songs from the sacred harp (1844) and the anti-slavery harp (1851)

come sing! this participatory workshop introduces shape-note singing — a centuries-old communal tradition requiring zero musical experience — and traces some of its historical connections to abolitionist movements. we'll sing (loud!) together, learn a little history, and talk about music as a form of collective resistance."
