âThe Big Sing: A Hymn Festivalâ is coming to First Baptist Lafayette July 25.
Participants will enjoy singing the great hymns of the church led by a mass choir of area residents. The program is free and ecumenical in nature, with members of all Christian groups invited to attend.
The Big Sing is patterned after a British tradition held at Royal Albert Hall. It was brought to the southeast United States by Benjamin Harlan, former professor of music at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and former Dean of the School of Music at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. A lifelong church musician, Harlan is a composer and arranger of music for church choirs and has also served churches as Minister of Music.
