2/26/12 Brooklyn Philharmonic Presents a Family Workshop: Shape Note Sing-A-Long

Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 1:00pm

Brooklyn Youth Chorus Academy

179 Pacific Street
Brooklyn, NY

Cost: Free

For all ages

Audiences are invited to perform with the Brooklyn Philharmonic! David T. Little’s Am I Born takes one back in time to the Brooklyn of the 1820s, when the great tradition of American shape note singing was the rage in New York. In a single afternoon, shape note singing expert Aldo Ceresa will immerse participants of all ages in this impassioned, deeply communal American tradition. No experience is necessary, and everyone who participates is invited to sing with the Brooklyn Philharmonic in its later March 24 and March 25 performances.
