10th Camp DoReMi Europe (ONLY CAMPING AVAILABLE)

Led by Michael Walker and a team of experienced singers and teachers, this weekend covers some of the finest music from the American shape note tradition, the oldest American a cappella harmony singing tradition. It uses a distinctive notation that makes it particularly easy to learn if you don’t read music. Its sound has been described as ‘hillbillies singing Renaissance music’. We focus on songs in The Christian Harmony: loaners will be available as well as books for sale. No previous musical or singing experience is necessary and we welcome everyone: children and adults, those who think they can’t sing (you can sing shape note music!), experienced singers and everyone in between. If you are new to singing or shape note music, we will provide extra teaching and support. We also have fun and fellowship, with music and singing continuing until late! 

Due to the popularity of this event, room sharing is to be expected (if you would like to share with particular people, let the office know) and there will only be space in the community for those participating in the event.
