Twenty
years ago, Deborah Henson-Conant slapped an electric pickup on her
concert harp, formed a band and started touring Europe with shows
that combined music and theater - in musical genres from Blues to
Flamenco. She landed a contract with a major U.S. record label,
hit the charts and was suddenly the world's premier revolutionary
harp icon. Was that enough for her? No way! She started arranging
her music for symphony orchestra. "Your never know," she
said. "The Boston Pops might call." They called. She told
the major European harpmaker she dreamed of a harp she could strap
on and plug in, so she could move around the stage with the abandon
of a rock star. He built it. She put all that together: the electric
harp, the theater, the singing, the big symphony orchestra - and
now, in collaboration with David Lockington and the Grand Rapids
Symphony - she's about to put it all on CD & DVD. You can be
there when it happens!
