The band Well Strung is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday as part of the second “In Harmony” Heritage Music Festival. Events run Friday and Saturday at sites in Harmony.

Harmony will be the site of the second “In Harmony” Heritage Music Festival on Friday and Saturday.

More than 18 groups will be performing in historic buildings throughout the borough, mainly at the Harmonist Barn and the Mennonite Meeting House.

The festival celebrates historic music inspired by communal Harmony Society members, who were the original European settlers in Harmony.

The Pittsburgh Historical Music Society Orchestra will play music from the early 1800s and wear costumes from the same time period.

The group Dearest Home will recreate traditional Appalachian and Old Time songs from the Civil War era.

The festival will kick off at 5 p.m. Friday and continue from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday. Food, local vendors and a beer garden are also planned.

Music on Friday will include Scott & Rosanna Spindler, Dearest Home, Echo Valley and the Allegheny Drifters.

Saturday's festivities will include student performers, Pittsburgh Banjo Club, The Early Mays, MillBillys, Buffalo Rose, Jay Smar, Well Strung, Cello Fury, South Wind, Old Song Rescue Society, The Snappin' Bug String Band, Sarah Steranka & David Sherman, Dearest Home, The Wayward Companions, and the Pittsburgh Historical Music Society Orchestra.

The “In Harmony” Heritage Music Festival began last year and had been the dream of the late John Ruch, a longtime Historic Harmony board president.
