Sacred Harp Singing in the New York City Area The Brooklyn Sing, located in the beautiful Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn, was originally held at Joe Beasley's house in Jackson Heights, Queens.  Joe was instrumental in reviving Sacred Harp singing in the Northeast.  When Joe passed away in 1995, his sing was taken over by Richard Schmeidler and moved to Brooklyn Heights.  Richard eventually made a move to Boston, and the sing is now under the tutelage of Brenda Peña, a good friend of Joe.  This is why the sing is also known as as The Joe Beasley Memorial Sing.  True to the tradition set forth by Joe, this sing features a pot-luck dinner, so you're encouraged to bring a dish to share.
