What Harriman-Jewell Series does
Mission
To bring the best of the performing arts to the Kansas City community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
In our 60th season, the Series was established as an independent 501c3.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The Harriman-Jewell Series continues to bring the world's foremost stars in classical music to Kansas City. In the recently completed 2024-25 season, we offered 13 performances and 20 educational events, more than 250 artists appeared in our programming, and we served 17,776 individuals across the Kansas City area. In 2024-2025 we celebrated our 60th Anniversary of showcasing high-quality artists from around the world to local audiences. Some notable presentations included our opening event in Helzberg Hall of the Kauffman Center of the Performing Arts featuring pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, Itzhak Perlman with an ensemble of Klezmer musicians, Joyce DiDonato singing with ensemble King's Return, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, and the Ballet Folklorico De Mexico, to name a few. We sought programming that was varied and included a multidisciplinary lineup of dance, symphony orchestras, opera stars, instrumentalists, jazz and chamber musicians. Most notable for our organization, last season we established Harriman-Jewell Series (the Series) as an independent 501c3 entity to best fulfill our mission to bring extraordinary artistic experiences to Kansas City.
