Come toast the season and settle in for Harvest Harmony, a joyful celebration of autumn’s bounty told through choral music from six corners of the globe. Choral Arts Northwest journeys from English wassails and Basque harvest songs to German lieder, Indonesian folk melodies, and Appalachian fiddle tunes, with vibrant stops in Spain and the Pacific Northwest. Collaborative pianist Serena Chin and violinist/fiddler Evan Hjort bring rich instrumental color throughout, from the toe-tapping energy of Wild Fiddler’s Rag and Apple Ale Wassail to the lyrical beauty of Fanny Hensel’s Herbstlied and Kevin Puts’s soaring violin solo Caprice. Featuring composers both celebrated and contemporary—Brahms, Schubert, and Gade alongside living voices like Sarah Quartel, Jacob Narverud, and Andrew Jacobson—this program threads together toasts, laments, dances, and drinking songs from centuries and cultures apart. Whether it’s a Swedish toast, a Scottish farewell, or a Batak folk tune from North Sumatra, Harvest Harmony reminds us that the rhythms of harvest season are universal. Come taste the flavors of autumn in song, and toast the season with Choral Arts Northwest.
