East Liberty Presbyterian Church welcomes Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell to Pittsburgh as she leads us in a Community Sing. Dr. Barnwell describes the Community Sing:
A community sing is an opportunity for anyone who wants to sing with other people to come and do just that for 2 hours. They are conducted in the oral tradition so you dont have to read music or have any musical training. I sing to the group and the group sings back. We begin in a fun easy way and in two hours we become a choir of uncommon voices singing with great joy in 4 to 8 part harmony, and as many rhythms, and raising the roof.
Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell joined Sweet Honey in the Rock in 1979 and retired from the group this past May. She appeared on more than thirty recordings with Sweet Honey in the Rock and other artists.
Community Sings are held monthly at the Levine School of Music in Washington, DC, where Dr. Barnwell is an artist-in-residence. More information about Ysaye Barnwell and the Community Sings may be found on her websites:

East Liberty Presbyterian Church has a rich history dating to 1819 when the first church building was constructed at Penn and Highland Avenues. The current structure, designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram, was completed in 1935 and given by Richard Beatty Mellon and Jennie King Mellon as a memorial to their parents.
