Concerts & Workshops
Northern Harmony Quartet
Village Harmony's outreach arm, the Northern Harmony Quartet, is back on the west coast this spring. Four veteran Village Harmony singer-teachers-- Stefan Amidon, Zara Bode, Suzannah Park & Nathan Morrison--have teamed up for a three-week performance and teaching tour, beginning in Santa Cruz and ending in Seattle, during the month of March.
The four young singers in this year’s incarnation of The Northern Harmony Quartet stretch the boundaries of choral music with their command of varied world ethnic singing styles. Their concert program and workshops will include South African dance-songs, traditional and contemporary American shape-note songs, Appalachian and honky-tonk harmonies, and quartet gospel arrangements, traditional sacred and secular song from Caucasus Georgia, Corsica and Bulgaria. Performing primarily a cappella, the group will accompany some numbers with guitar, drums and piano.
West Coast concerts & singing workshops:
march 5-27, 2010
A range of CDs and songbooks will be for sale at all of the concerts and workshops. Contact during tour: morrisonpark@gmail.com, (828) 258-0675.
