Sacred Harp Sing

Sacred Harp is an American tradition of four-part, a capella, shape-note hymn singing. Singings are held in Sitka, Fairbanks, Palmer, Juneau and Anchorage.

• In Sitka, we sing from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sunday each month at the Pioneer Home Chapel.
• The address is 120 Katlian Street.
• On the 2nd and 4th Sunday, we sing from the 1991 “Denson” book of Sacred Harp (the “red book”).
• On the 5th Sunday we sing from the 2012 “Cooper” book” of Sacred Harp (the “blue book”).
• We have extra songbooks for visitors.
