Matthew Harris represented North America in “Dietrich B,” an international commissioning project for the centennial of the German resistance priest Dietrich Bonhoeffer, with performances around the world in 2025, culminating in Leipzig’s Gewandhaus. Though he is mostly known for his choral music, Mr. Harris has had works played by the Minnesota, Houston and Florida Symphony Orchestras, and operas by Chelsea Opera, New York City Opera’s Vox series, and the Lake George Opera Festival. The National Endowment for the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, Tanglewood, and the Georges Enesco Foundation are among the organizations that have awarded him fellowships and composition prizes. His works are published by G. Schirmer and C. F. Peters and recordings of his works include Kantorei of Kansas City’s Choral Music by Matthew Harris on Resonus Classics. He currently lives in New York City and teaches at Brooklyn College, CUNY.
