Grammy-nominated harpist Deborah Henson-Conant returns to Europe for a bold tour of concerts, collaborations & workshops.<\/div>\n

Boston, MA – <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

A pioneer in modern harp innovation,<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

A Legacy of Innovation & Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Building on past collaborations with harpist Evelyn Huber, <\/strong>the Salzburg Philharmonic,<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

Her compositions continue to influence harpists worldwide,<\/strong> with pieces like her concerto Baroque Flamenco<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

An Immersive Concert Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“…reshaping the serenely Olympian harp into a jazz instrument.”<\/em> – The New York Times<\/em><\/p>\n
