Morten Harket at the Haydom Event in Vennesla (August 16, 2004) [ENG/PT/RU Subtitles]

The annual Haydom event has been organized for many years in the garden of Morten’s uncle Bernt Kvarstein, drawing large local crowds. All proceeds go to Haydom Hospital, a Norwegian-founded medical mission that has provided healthcare and education to rural Tanzania since the 1950s. Morten performs here together with his family in The Harket Men’s Choir (Harket Mannssangforening), led by his father Reidar Harket. The group began as a small family quartet and later reunited to sing each summer at this benefit concert. They perform traditional songs, hymns, and gospel pieces — and Morten often contributes solo numbers as well. Morten’s connection to Haydom goes beyond music. His family has a long friendship with Dr. Ole Halgrim Evjen Olsen and Kari (“Mama Kari”) Evjen Olsen, the Norwegian couple who built and led Haydom Lutheran Hospital for decades. Their son, Dr. Øystein Evjen Olsen, later continued the work. Several of the concerts have been held in their honor. Harket has participated in the Haydom concerts for many years. In 2009, he also performed A Change Is Gonna Come and helped raise more than 100,000 NOK for the hospital. The choir rarely performs anywhere else; this annual concert is its main purpose. Speaking about the project, Morten once said: “The story of Haydom is the story of an impressive effort made by idealists. If I, with my voice, can do something to support that work, then I will be there.” For Morten Harket, the Haydom project represents faith, family, and compassion in action — using music to support a mission that continues to save lives in Tanzania.
