Black Mountain Center for the Arts Community Sing-Alongs
Community sing-alongs at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts are scheduled for Sunday afternoons, April 13, May 18, June 8, July 13, and August 17.  The fall schedule will be posted at a later date. The  time on April 13th is from 3-4:30 pm.

These sing-alongs are purely for fun, not for performance.  Anyone who loves to sing is invited to participate.  Songs range from the silly to the sublime, from songs we learned in childhood to Broadway tunes, and more.  Each month features some kind of theme.

Sing-alongs have seen a revival in recent years.  They may be held in private homes, community centers, churches, or schools.  Most are informal, with the participants engaged in choosing the songs to sing.  Pete Seeger, who was instrumental in the folk music era, still leads a sing-along in his community, ‘though he is in is ‘80’s.  Come join us in the Valley for a chance to raise your voice with fellow song-lovers.
