Henson-Conant
Known for her renegade image, evocative singing voice and a stage presence that combines bigger-than-life with down-to-earth authenticity, her shows blur the line between musical performance and theatrical event. Over the past 25 years, she has revolutionized harp-playing, including the instrument itself by collaborating with builders to create a new hybrid harp she straps on and plays like a 31-string guitar.

Henson-Conant’s most recent project Invention & Alchemy, an original work with symphony orchestra, is three-tiered: a Grammy-Nominated CD, a PBS-TV special and a full-length concert DVD
