Columbia Shape-Note Singers

We invite you to experience and participate in Sacred Harp shape-note singing. Shape-note singing is a 200-year-old American tradition of lively a cappella music. This music features folk-like melodies, harmonized in an unorthodox style. Though the songs come from American religious traditions, singers from all creeds are welcome.

Everyone is welcome at Sacred Harp events, regardless of perceived vocal ability.

The Columbia, MO Shape-Note Singers meet at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1600 W. Rollins Road from 7:30 - 9 p.m. every second and fourth Tuesday. 

Missouri Convention 2012
Every year, shape note singing groups host their annual "convention," an all-day or two-day singing at which all singers are welcome. The St. Louis Shape Note Singers host a two-day Missouri Convention each year on the second Sunday in March and the Saturday before.

The 2012 Missouri convention will be held March 10 and 11, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at St. John's UCC, Pinckney Township MO.
