About the Composer

Kevin F.J. Harris is an American composer whose work reflects more than three decades of dedication to the art of music. With a voice shaped by classical tradition, emotional depth, and a lifelong devotion to creativity, his compositions span solo piano works, chamber music, sacred music, and orchestral writing. Kevin’s musical journey began at the age of seven, when his parents recognized his natural gift for music and introduced him to the piano. Those early years sparked not only a love for performance, but an enduring fascination with composition itself. By the age of eleven, he had already written his first original piano piece, setting in motion a creative path that would continue for a lifetime. In his late twenties, Kevin returned to composition with renewed purpose and intensity, immersing himself in the study of musical structure, harmony, and orchestration. Between 2003 and 2005, he studied harmony with acclaimed American composer Jeffrey Brody, further refining the artistic and technical foundations of his craft. Since 1992, Kevin has composed more than one hundred original works, each driven by a desire to create music that is expressive, memorable, and deeply human. His music is inspired by emotion, storytelling, faith, and the timeless beauty of classical form. Kevin sincerely hopes you enjoy listening!
