Grammy-Nominated Harp Virtuoso Deborah Henson-Conant Embarks on European Tour
Boston, MA - Renowned for revolutionizing the harp, Grammy-nominated electric harpist Deborah Henson-Conant (DHC) is set to embark on an electrifying European tour this spring. Known for her dynamic performances that blend music, storytelling, and humor, Henson-Conant will bring her groundbreaking DHC electric harp to audiences across Germany, France, Wales, and Scotland through high-energy concerts and immersive workshops.
Henson-Conant has spent her career redefining the harp, collaborating with CAMAC Harps to create the wearable, carbon-fiber "DHC Harp." Her fusion of blues, jazz, Latin, and theatrical storytelling has earned her critical acclaim worldwide, with The New York Times hailing her as an artist who "reshaped the serenely Olympian harp into a jazz instrument."
A Legacy of Innovation
Henson-Conant's compositions, including the internationally performed Baroque Flamenco , continue to influence harpists and orchestras globally. Her work has recently expanded beyond the harp world, with a historic adaptation of her concerto for Ukraine's national instrument, the bandura.
With a lifelong commitment to artistic evolution, she continues to merge technology and music. Her TEDx talk "Reinventing Freedom" explores how musical instruments can be extensions of the body, much like prosthetics.
Tour Highlights
The European tour features both concerts and intensive workshops, offering harpists and musicians the opportunity to learn from Henson-Conant's pioneering techniques.
* Germany (Mar. 28-30) - Concert & "Improv Freedom" Workshop (Landshut)
* France (Apr. 4-5) - Concert & Improvisation Workshop (Paris)
* Wales (Apr. 6-9) - Harp Radiance Retreat & Concert (Bridgend)
* Scotland (Apr. 11-15) - Edinburgh Harp Festival Concert & Workshop
Bringing the Boston Spirit to Europe
A longtime Boston-based artist, Henson-Conant's roots in the city's vibrant music scene continue to influence her international work. "Boston gave me the artistic foundation to develop my sound and collaborations. Now, I'm taking that innovative spirit back to Europe," she says.
Through her DHC Legacy Project, she supports harpists in performing and recording her works, expanding access to contemporary compositions worldwide.
Henson-Conant's performances have been described as "a stunning mix of virtuosity, humor, and theatrical storytelling" (Richmond Times Dispatch). With an eye toward expanding bookings in the U.S., this tour aims to generate momentum for future North American performances.
