EDUCATION events

Consisting of master classes, young-person's performances, and demonstrations, the Harriman-Jewell Series’ Education Events are presented without charge to students, community members, educators, local and professional artists, and lifelong learners. These events aim to engage those who attend in an informal and personal setting. 

Education Events are held alongside the appearance of critically acclaimed artists and ensembles on the Series’ performance calendar. In addition, we present exceptional artists for exclusive Education Events.

For more than 40 years, we have offered educational activities for Kansas City students, community members, and aspiring artists from every educational and socio-economic background.
