Jams: every night following the concert

What is a Jam? Quite simply, it's a social gathering where musicians come together to play music. We set aside some rooms for informal jams after each of the evening concerts and then line up a few "ringers" to help the prime the pump. Some of the jams use sheet music or are built on a particular theme. Pick one that's right for you. You can come to play or come to listen. There's also nothing stopping any number of friends from getting together to create their own jam either. We'll have a daily Jam list on the bulletin board near the registration desk where you can sign-up for a room and post your own session.

The Banquet: Saturday 5:30-7pm

Join Your Friends & Colleagues at a sumptuous meal catered just for the Somerset harp community. Your hosts for the evening are Harper Tasche, Sunita Staneslow and Nicolas Carter. You can be a guest at a table hosted by each performer. Get to know them up close and personal and have lively chat and a great meal. Stop. Relax. Connect with old friends and get to know the new friends you've made. Live harp music by Joanna Mell through the dinner adds to the elegance and convivial atmosphere. Entrees will include vegetarian fare. Tickets $50/per person and must be purchased in advance. Be sure to check-off the Banquet option on the registration form. If registered already and want to get a ticket you can call Kathy at 856-795-7637 to add to your order. The deadline to get tickets is July 23, when we get our order to the caterer. Cash bar.
