UPCOMING EVENTS
Greetings,
If this is your first time visiting Harvest Arts, you may be wondering who we are and what attending one of our events would be like. First off, thank you for visiting our small corner of the internet! Harvest Arts has a clear mission: to provide beautiful artistic works and experiences for the increased flourishing of our community for the glory of God.
Recently I heard one concert-goer describe Harvest Arts events as “boutique concerts.” I could not have been more thrilled to hear an audience member describe their experience in this way! Our events truly are boutique concerts: they feature classical music and visual art, and (unlike most classical music concerts) the musicians engage with the audience on a personal level, both from the stage and one-on-one visiting before, during, and after the show. Through the beauty of art, fellowship, and personal connection, I have seen God minister to the hearts and souls of both the attendees and the musicians. Would you join us at an upcoming concert?
This September marks two years of sharing concerts with our community, and we are ready to celebrate. We think there is no better way to musically pop the cork than to put on our biggest concert yet! We present to you “Mozart and Friends”, our first-ever QUINTET concert. This show will feature, among many other wonderful works, the beloved Mozart Concerto for Flute and Harp. Hannah and I met each other performing this piece, so we are thrilled to bring it to the stage again. Joining us are 3 other incredible artists, Tony Parce, Grace Parce, and Hannah Tyler.
Whether you are an avid classical music fan or this is your first foray into the musical genre, this is sure to be an enjoyable experience. Join us in a city near you! See below our tour schedule, ticket links, and the bios of the musicians.

Meet the Musicians
Hannah is a violinist originally from Asheville, NC and now resides in Nashville, TN. She received her Bachelor in Music degree from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN. As a part of this study she performed in the American Prize winning ensemble, The St. Olaf Orchestra under esteemed conductor, Steven Amundson. In May of 2017, she graduated from Belmont University with a Master’s in Classical Violin Performance. She was concertmaster of the Belmont Symphony for both of the years she attended. Hannah has studied with world-renowned pedagogs, Francesca Anderegg, Charles Gray, Burton Kaplan, David Coucheron, and Kenneth Freed. She has toured several parts of the country while presenting her own solo concerts including classical, sacred, Celtic, and bluegrass repertoire. For the past few years, Hannah has also performed and taught at a summer music institute with The Annie Moses Band, a premier classical-crossover string and vocal band. Hannah has performed in venues all over the world including The Grand Ole Opry, Carnegie Hall, Bach’s Church in Leipzig, Germany, The Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and The Kennedy Center. She has performed in and toured several countries including India, Germany, and China.
Hannah is currently the first violinist in La Vie Quartet, a chamber ensemble she founded in 2017. La Vie Quartet is a premier touring and performing string quartet in Nashville, TN. With creativity, virtuosity, flair, and passion at the forefront, the La Vie Quartet performs the highest caliber repertoire of classical string quartets, current Top 40's arrangements, and beyond. They have performed with JohnnySwim, Delta Rae, Judah and the Lion, and Christy Nockels. In 2018, the quartet began a concert series called, “The Gallery Sessions,” in partnership with The Rymer Gallery, a contemporary fine art gallery located in downtown Nashville. These performances are free and opened to the public. Each performance pairs a standard, classical string quartet with a contemporary artist. Hannah’s hope for this series is to bring people of all different musical backgrounds together. Hannah is currently a substitute violinist with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra as well as a first violinist with the Tennessee Philharmonic Orchestra. Hannah believes a successful musician is one whose music causes people to feel. She thinks the emotions of human living provide an avenue for our connection with one another. Too often she fears musicians forget about this aspect of music – the ability to influence. While technique is important, especially in the formative years, Hannah thinks it is vital to develop a conversation between facility and musicality. Through music-making and performing, Hannah desires to communicate these truths to people, hopefully allowing them to not only be in touch with themselves, but with something much greater. |

In addition to being a regular principal at NWS, Parce performed chamber music with Christian Tetzlaff, Jessye Norman, and Anne Marie McDermott. Parce has attended the Verbier, Schleswig-Holstein, Tanglewood, Artosphere, and Britten-Piers summer festivals, as well as the National Orchestral Institute, Domaine Forget and the Music Academy of the West.
