At UWG: African American United Shape Note Singers

The University of West Georgia hosts the United Shape Note Singers in a music workshop. Attendees will have the opportunity to talk with members of the group. African American shape-note singers employ a seven-note system, syncopated rhythms and a uniquely emotional singing style that differentiates their music from that of the Sacred Harp tradition. A grant from the Georgia Humanities Council supports the workshop. The workshop will be in the lower level of the Z-6 dining hall. Enter the campus at the east entrance.  The parking area to use is the second area on the left. Look for the signs and attendants that will help direct you to the event. http://www.westga.edu/cph/index_16011.php
