Presenting Calvin Arsenia

Calvin harp

Singer, harpist and author Calvin Arsenia brings a live concert experience built around voice and harp, blending jazz and electronic influences. The concert is free and open to the public.

Voted Kansas City’s Best Musician from 2018 to 2023 by The Pitch, Arsenia has also been featured on Billboard.com, NPR.org, NEWNOWNEXT, Pride.com and GRAMMY.com. His work draws from a gospel and classical upbringing while pushing past genre boundaries, pairing rare harmonies with a show that is intentional, sensory and visually striking.

Alongside comedian Justin Randall, Arsenia co-hosted the 2020-2021 podcast We Were Christian Kids, exploring the experience of being a queer person raised in the Evangelical Church. In 2021, he released Every Good Boy Does Fine, a book of poems and stories centered on healing and the power of love and acceptance.
