HarborWalk Sounds is the ICA's free series of outdoor concerts featuring students, faculty, and alumni from Berklee College of Music. Manami Morita, a native of Saitama, Japan, started playing classical piano at 4. She loved to play but wanted more musical freedom. At 13, Morita discovered jazz and became addicted, even learning improvisation on her own. In 2004, Morita put aside thoughts of becoming a flight attendant or English teacher to follow her dream of playing jazz, when she received a scholarship to study at Berklee. She was recently awarded the Mary Jane Earnhart Endowed Scholarship. Morita appears on the latest Jazz Revelation Records CD release, Common Ground, with the track “Going Home.” Admission is free. Space is limited.
