For the first half of this unique singing you will sing tunes from an 1892 Christian Harmony singing documented in the journals of Cherokee traditionalist, Will West Long. Then the group will sing each song bilingually in both English and Cherokee. (Bilingual versions will be available to all participants at the event). The group will have singing school for shapes and then a workshop on Cherokee pronunciation before the singing. An early dinner will be catered courtesy of the Cherokee Language Program at WCU.
