He regularly performs solo recitals, has been featured as a soloist with numerous ensembles, and recorded an album, "Sonatas and Meditations" which featured his long-time collaborator, pianist Ines Irawati. He actively encourages composers to write both solo and chamber music for bass, and has commissioned and premiered multiple works for the instrument. As a chamber musician, he has performed at La Jolla Summerfest, Carnegie’s Weill Hall, and on San Diego’s “Art of Elan” chamber series. A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University, Kurtz-Harris is a dedicated pedagogue. He has been the classical bass teacher at San Diego State University since 2006, and has taught master classes in the U.S., Mexico, and Australia. He has also served as a board member for the International Society of Bassists, which fosters interaction among bassists from many countries, backgrounds, and musical genres, and also opportunities for young bassists.
