HARVEST SUPPER 2019

About Harvest Supper

The eighth annual Harvest Supper, hosted by the Friends of the Museum, is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 17, 2019, on the grounds of historic Rowan Oak, the home of Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner. To help the Friends raise funds to support programming and collections at the University of Mississippi Museum and Historic Houses, artworks by both well-known and emerging artists are auctioned through this site.

The Friends organization, made up entirely of community volunteers, raises more than $125,000 each year to enhance the Museum and Rowan Oak. Much of the funding raised is a result of the annual Harvest Supper art auction.

If you are interested in sponsoring Harvest Supper in the future, or would like more specific information about this year's auction, please contact Kate Wallace at 662.915.7073 or [email protected].

Music

UM Salsa Project

UM Salsa Project is Oxford's premier Latin and world music ensemble and performs popular songs from various Latin American countries. The group is made up of musicians from the Oxford/University community including Andres Diaz (vocal, guitar, percussion), Monique Ma (vocal, violin, percussion), Hunter McGuary (trombone, electric guitar), Daniel Roebuck (trumpet, percussion), Lazarrus Miller (piano), Amy Fisher (upright bass), Ricky Burkhead (percussion). Their music explores early Latin rhythmic patterns such as the 'Abakua' tradition, which helped create salsa, samba, soca, calypso, and reggae.

Maggie Rose

"Maggie Rose has come into her own with this current earth-conscious, trippy country-soul stage of her ever-evolving musical persona…Rose's performances [during CMA Fest and Bonnaroo] showed her embracing her inner soul diva, belting with fire on 'It's You' and the pulverizing 'Pull You Through.' Just to drive the point home, Rose and her band even stretched out on a swinging cover of 'The Letter,' doing a more-than-respectable impression of the funky Mad Dogs & Englishmen arrangement originally sung by Joe Cocker." - Rolling Stone Magazine
