Harvest is a spectacular gala concert created, written and directed by Capercaillie's Donald Shaw. It is a multi faceted celebration of the musical interplay between Europe's various Celtic traditions. The stellar presence of fifteen top international singers and musicians such as Capercaillie's Karen Matheson, Charlie McKerron and Mike McGoldrick, Guadi Galego from Galicia, Karan Casey from Ireland, Highland musicians Anna Massie, Aidan O'Rourke and James McIntosh and Brittany's outstanding flautist Jean -Michel Veillon combines with over forty young Highland Fèis students to give a thrilling performance of new music.

Donald Shaw composed Harvest, a commission for the opening night of the Celtic Connections festival involving 100 musicians from all Celtic regions of Europe, in January 2004. Also involved were some of the finest young traditional musicians from throughout Scotland from the ages of 13 to 18.  Harvest was also performed at the 2006 Celtic Connections festival.
