The Harriman-Jewell Series brings the best of the performing arts to the Kansas City community. The Harriman Jewell Series offers well known artists as well as up and coming performers as part of their Discovery Series.
The Harriman-Jewell Series continues to carve out an enviable legacy as a performing arts presenter of international importance. More than 970 performances have come to Kansas City by way of the Series since its founding in 1965 by William Jewell College, including 24 American recital debuts by prominent artists. With the addition of its free educational events, which allow interaction with musicians and dancers, and its free Discovery Concerts which eliminate the barrier of cost, the Harriman-Jewell Series offers even more life-enriching opportunities for its community’s youth and lifelong learners.
