People who love to sing will gather for an event designed for everyone — all ages, backgrounds and singing abilities. The event will be hosted by Harmony Heritage, the Rhode Island based chapter of Harmony, Incorporated, an international organization of female a cappella singers specializing in the barbershop harmony style.

The Warwick Mall will be the site for a World Singing Day Event to be held on Oct. 1 at 1 p.m. 

“World Singing Day was started in 2012 by songwriter and musician Scott Johnson, who believes that nothing brings people closer together faster than singing,” said Shelley Pray, event organizer.  “What began as a local event in Boulder, CO has since grown into a global celebration, spanning 19 countries and five continents. Each year a common song of the year is chosen, and groups and individuals are encouraged to go to the WSD website to learn that song and sing it on World Singing Day.  This year’s song will be “All of Us,” composed by Scott Johnson.  In addition, lyric sheets to some popular music will be provided, and all are invited to sing their hearts out.”
