TACOMA – SEATTLE! I’m talking to you!

Check out these two videos I made to personally tell the folks in Tacoma and Seattle what they’ll see at the show

ABOUT THE SHOW

She’s also revolutionized her instrument with a custom-made, 32-string electric “harness harp.” What can you expect from Deborah Henson-Conant? Well … this is not your grandmother’s harp! She strides on stage like a rock-star, with a powerful chrome-silver triangle, strung with 32 multicolor strings, an instrument invented specifically for her by the CAMAC company, in France.

She’s the harpist your parents never warned you about — the world’s premiere electric harpist. She plays music from Blues to Flamenco, she sings and she talks to the audience. She “dresses like a showgirl, plays the pants off the harp and tells tall tales with the ease of a stand-up comic. Imagine a talkative Harpo Marx in a mini-skirt and you begin to get the picture” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

“Dazzling harp playing, gorgeous jazz/pop singing, comic timing and impressive songwriting…” Austin-American Statesman

“It’s her dazzling range and depth of technique, combined with a warmly engaging energetic stage manner, that ultimately makes this such a memorable show …” (SW Metro – Edinburgh, Scotland)

“Virtuoso out-of-the-box harpist… known as the rockin’ bad girl of the harp world. She took the ancient instrument off its pedestal, cocked it up on her hip, and made it play everything…” (NPR: On Point)

ABOUT SYMPHONY TACOMA

Now in her fourth Season as Music Director of Symphony Tacoma, Ms. Ioannides has gained recognition as one of the most engaging and respected conductors of her generation.
