The Harriman-Jewell Series has just announced its 2023-2024 season, and it’s full of old favorites, as well as intriguing new offerings. And its free Discovery Concerts feature two amazing women devoted to making the world a better place.
The favorites include artists like violinist Hilary Hahn, pianist Emanuel Ax and tenor Juan Diego Flórez. Like Luciano Pavarotti, Flórez made his American recital debut on the Harriman-Jewell Series. There’s been a lot of love between Flórez and Kansas City ever since.
“Juan Diego is in such demand all over the world that it’s not easy to find a date that works for him to come to Kansas City,” said Clark Morris, executive and artistic director of the Harriman-Jewell Series. “But he’s very loyal to Kansas City and to the series because of his American recital debut, and he had a really warm relationship with Richard Harriman. When he got married in Peru, he invited Richard as his guest to come because he felt that he was that important to his career.”
