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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Henson-Conant has spent her career redefining the harp, collaborating with CAMAC Harps to create the wearable, carbon-fiber &ldquo;DHC Harp.&rdquo; 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 &ldquo;reshaped the serenely Olympian harp into a jazz instrument.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A Legacy of Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Henson-Conant&rsquo;s compositions, including the internationally performed <em>Baroque Flamenco<\/em>, 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&rsquo;s national instrument, the bandura.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With a lifelong commitment to artistic evolution, she continues to merge technology and music. Her TEDx talk &ldquo;Reinventing Freedom&rdquo; explores how musical instruments can be extensions of the body, much like prosthetics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tour Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The European tour features both concerts and intensive workshops, offering harpists and musicians the opportunity to learn from Henson-Conant&rsquo;s pioneering techniques.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Germany<strong> (Mar. 28-30)<\/strong> &ndash; Concert &amp; &ldquo;Improv Freedom&rdquo; Workshop (Landshut)<\/li>\n<li>France <strong>(Apr. 4-5)<\/strong> &ndash; Concert &amp; Improvisation Workshop (Paris)<\/li>\n<li>Wales <strong>(Apr. 6-9)<\/strong> &ndash; Harp Radiance Retreat &amp; Concert (Bridgend)<\/li>\n<li>Scotland <strong>(Apr. 11-15)<\/strong> &ndash; Edinburgh Harp Festival Concert &amp; Workshop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><br \/>Bringing the Boston Spirit to Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A longtime Boston-based artist, Henson-Conant&rsquo;s roots in the city&rsquo;s vibrant music scene continue to influence her international work. &ldquo;Boston gave me the artistic foundation to develop my sound and collaborations.
