2009 Iowa All-Day Singing

June 13, 2009 -- Thanks for joining us!

What a wonderful singing we had!  More than forty singers (from five states) gathered in Berwick for the 8th annual Iowa All-Day Singing - and for the first time, most of the singers were from Iowa.

Thanks to everyone who was at Berwick.  A "singing" comes into being when we all join together, and we each leave with some part of it to share with other singers in other places.  May the seeds from Iowa scatter widely and take good root.

Check back here for information and flyers regarding the 2010 Iowa All-Day Singing.  We'll be so glad to see you! 

Who to contact in Iowa?

I'm always happy to chat about Sacred Harp and help folks get in touch with other singers.  Please feel free to contact me about that or to submit additional information (or corrections) for this page by email or snailmail.  Thanks!  Annie
