Grammy-Nominated Harp Virtuoso Deborah Henson-Conant Returns to Europe for Groundbreaking Tour
Boston, MA - Following a series of acclaimed international collaborations, Grammy-nominated electric harpist Deborah Henson-Conant (DHC) returns to Europe in 2025 for an electrifying tour of concerts and immersive workshops. Known for her revolutionary approach to the harp, Henson-Conant blends music, storytelling, and theatrical performance to create a one-of-a-kind experience for audiences worldwide.
A pioneer in modern harp innovation, Henson-Conant is the creator of the DHC electric harp, a lightweight, wearable instrument developed in collaboration with CAMAC Harps. This groundbreaking instrument has redefined what the harp can be, freeing performers from sitting behind the harp and bringing a new level of physicality to DHC's signature blend of jazz, blues, Latin, and improvisational storytelling.
A Legacy of Innovation & Collaboration
Building on past collaborations with harpist Evelyn Huber, the Salzburg Philharmonic, and the world premieres of her compositions in 2023 and 2024, Henson-Conant's 2025 tour marks a deepening of her creative work in Europe.She's also been invited for a private retreat with the CAMAC Midi-Harp in Paris, reinforcing her position as a musical innovator in collaboration with today's harp builders.
Her compositions continue to influence harpists worldwide, with pieces like her concerto Baroque Flamenco performed internationally. Expanding beyond the harp world, the piece was recently adapted for Ukraine's national instrument, the bandura, bringing her genre-blending composition to new musical traditions.
An Immersive Concert Experience
More than just a performance, Henson-Conant's concerts are immersive journeys-filled with both virtuosic and intimate harp playing, humor, and powerful storytelling. Audiences are drawn into a world where the harp has expanded from the back of the orchestra into a dynamic, expressive force capable of everything from jazz riffs to fiery flamenco solos.
"...reshaping the serenely Olympian harp into a jazz instrument." - The New York Times
