Southwest Texas Sacred Harp Singing Convention

The Southwest Texas Sacred Harp Singing Convention is an annual gathering dedicated to the practice of Sacred Harp singing, a traditional form of American choral music that is characterized by its unique structure, shaped notes, and rich harmonies. Sacred Harp singing typically involves a communal and participatory approach, where singers gather to perform songs from the Sacred Harp songbook, a collection that dates back to the early 19th century.
