  • Recommended for ages 8 and up: small ensemble, could be subtle and introspective, rewarding closer listening

Pianist Kevin Harris makes his Celebrity Series debut as a headliner with his trio to perform The Roar of a Feather, new original compositions inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks. 

It’s an apt choice for an artist who thrives on curiosity, creativity, and innovation, whether inspiring his students at Berklee, collaborating with artistic partners, or captivating audiences. 

Soulful, playful, and always thoughtful, Harris’ music strikes a thrilling balance between compositional vision and improvisatory freedom. He’s an artist you’re going to want to hear, whenever you can.

“Harris' compositions deal with themes of strength, love, courage, and self- awareness. It's a heavy task he's set up for himself, and he meets the challenge gracefully.”

DownBeat Magazine

“When Harris becomes a soloist, he does not try to dazzle with technique. Instead, he fills the role with the same creativity he brings to his writing. He has plenty of speed, but he uses it carefully, for maximum effect.”
