An intimate, 30-45 minute concert, featuring returning festival artist/harpist, Martha Waldvogel and friends in this unique art gallery setting.

7:00PM CDT: Open Style Jam & Song Sharing (for festival artists, singers and local acoustic musicians) at Sara’s Harmonie Way, 500 Church St. New Harmony, IN. Each year the festival enjoys welcoming local musicians of all styles to “join-in” at this annual round-robin evening of musical sharing. The jam is hosted by members of this year’s festival artist line-up. All musicians are kindly asked to respect our “taking turns” policy throughout the course of the evening. We also ask that musicians and casual listeners alike please take note, quiet-down, and give-ear, if a solo singer is performing a song.

12:15PM CDT: Pop-up Concert at New Harmony Soap, 512 Main St. New Harmony, IN

Featured: American folk-singer and guitarist, Jefferson Hamer and friends.  Jefferson Hamer has made a name for himself in the folk tradition by virtue of his ethereal, high tenor voice and deft skills on his guitar.  Jefferson’s American and Celtic song repertoire is sure to please even the most discriminating ear.  An excellent “preview” of tonight’s traditional concert.

7:30PM CDT: Traditional Musics-Living Traditions
Trad music and songs from Appalachia to Ireland to Scotland, Spain and elsewhere. Returning artist Martha Waldvogel joins Jefferson Hamer, Christopher Layer and others in a celebration of traditional music the whole world ’round!

12:15PM CDT: Pop-up Concert at the Workingmen’s Institute Library, 407 Tavern St. New Harmony, IN.

***Festival Solo Roundtable: Our festival artists take a “music circle” approach; each artist sharing solo pieces or songs, and perhaps some stories to go with the pieces they choose!

7:30PM CDT: American Songlines at The Murphy Auditorium, 419 Tavern St. New Harmony, IN.

Festival pianist, guitarist and singer Ben Waldvogel, literally “takes center stage” at the Murphy as audience members will be seated ONSTAGE for an up-close and personal musical experience along with Ben and his fellow festival artists. This fine young musician is sure to please those with rock and roll souls or New Orleans roots. Toes will be tapping!

12:15PM CDT: Pop-up Concert

Festival artists “mix and match” classical and traditional musics in this musical “throw-down” as we warm-up for Saturday Night’s mixed-style concert event!

7:30PM CDT: Festival Free-for-all

Each year, the festival has enjoyed creating an evening concert that reflects all of the unique and talented musicians that come to us for our week of music.  Tonight’s program is no exception.  Something for most everyone, offered in the spirit of living our lives in the spirit of music!

The music festival, and its parent org, The New Harmony Artist’s Guild Inc., want to thank the Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation for their constant support and patronage of the Guild and its annual projects. We would like to extend a very special thank-you to Andrew Orient, of Historic Harmony (Pennsylvania), for the diligence and support he invested in order to bring the “In Harmony” project to life and to our town. Thanks Andrew! And we are most especially grateful to Claire Eagle and Christine Crews of Historic New Harmony (Indiana) and the good folks at USI, not only for their ongoing support of local cultural programming, but also for providing 3 of our concert venues this week, artist housing, and important technical and travel support during this 2022 festival week! Thanks everybody!
