Harmony in the Woods announces another exciting season of live music under the dancing trees of its beautiful summer home in the Lake Region of the Poconos. Season IV is another full season of concerts every Friday and Saturday evening from July 5 to September 7.
Creative Director Jill Carletti has dedicated the winter months finding artists to grace the Harmony stage. New performances this season include the gritty Southern blues soul singer Eddie 9V; dynamic country singer Tyler Reese Tritt, daughter of country legend Travis Tritt; and the stunning French/American singer Laura Anglade. Crowd favorites like Sean Altman & Jack Skuller have appeared in previous seasons in different performance configurations and will return with their tribute concert: “Forever Simon and Garfunkel”. Other returning artists include the Latin fusion band, De Tierra Caliente, and the boogie woogie pianist and Billy Joel song stylist, Wade Preston. There is also Bluegrass, Country, Broadway, and World music in Season IV. With 20 concerts to choose from, there is something for everyone. Jill says, “We try to be as diverse as our audiences’ varied styles and interests, while introducing new and exciting performing artists. We are a performing arts organization for everyone.”
Harmony is currently seeking concert sponsors and donors to support the Foundation for Harmony Presents, a charitable 501(c)(3) organization, reminding the public that only half of expenses are covered by ticket sales. Any donation of $250 or more receives early ticket access; ticket sales open to the public on April 15. If unable to sponsor the season, Harmony always welcomes volunteers to become a part of the local music scene and to help create an enjoyable and a memorable experience for concert goers.
Every seat is a good seat in The Woods. General seating is first come first served. Choose a spot on the lawn or on the tiers of soft grass and native bluestone, and your ticket price includes a pre-set folding captain’s chair. Although there is no need to bring your own chair, it is recommended to bring bug spray, layers of clothing for chilly evenings, and, of course, plenty of snacks and beverages to share with friends.
Harmony In the Woods is made possible by our audiences who purchase tickets, our sponsors, donors, and by the Foundation for Harmony Presents, founded by Henry Skier in 2020. Mr. Skier says, “From the time you turn into the parking lots, until you are transported by golf carts up Imagination Way, to when you are welcomed by Harmony Volunteer Staff who escort you to your seats on the Harmony tiers, you will know you are in a special place where Hospitality is everywhere, and standing ovations are often. Welcome to the wonderful world of Harmony in The Woods where Performance is in our Nature.”
