Hello Friends & Fans--

When I perform, it's always a challenge to balance new material with audience favorites, so I finally decided to give up and simply do two different shows when I play in NYC later this month. That's how we ended up with the double-billed concert "One Way ... and Another" on March 21st. The 7:30 show is called "One Way" and features all my most requested tunes. The 9:30 show is called "...and Another" and features newer or more unusual pieces. And for folks who just can't decide (I'm usually one of those), there's a special price for both shows.

But wait! For YOU, my E-fans, there's an even better price - $15 per show - if you order by phone at (212) 864-5400 and use the special code "DHC in NYC."

So, if you live in or near the City, come to the show (see below) - and if you live in the rest of the world, tell your friends the code - or order for them as a special gift!

This show is also special because it's the official U.S. debut of my new generation carbon fiber harp, a slim 13-lb carbon fiber beauty with airbrushed racing bike flames! (No, really! Really! You can read about it at the Press Release Page.) Read about my "Show & Tell" for the new harp on March 20th in NYC below.

And stay tuned for our next special ONLINE VIDEO ISSUE coming in a week or two (more details on that when we send it)!


UPCOMING EVENTS!

NYC - MAR. 21 - TIX ON SALE! DHC DOUBLE-BILL AT SYMPHONY SPACE - Deborah returns to Symphony Space on March 21 in TWO DIFFERENT shows! The first show (at 7:30) showcases fan favorites from the past 15 years and the second show (at 9:30) features new and rarely heard pieces. And, for E-Fans, say "DHC in NYC" when you call to order tix (212.864.5400) and you'll get a special fan price of $15 tix - that means you could go to both shows for only $30! This special is for phone orders only - Box Office is open Tues-Sun from 11am until 7pm. More info at the Symphony Space Website, DHC Tour Page or in the Releases at the Press Release Page.

NYC - MAR. 20! "Meet DHC and her new generation CAMAC Carbon Fiber Harp!" - Meet Deborah and her new ultra-light CAMAC harp. It's been years in the making, she just picked it up in France last month and its official debut is her NYC show on March 21 - but YOU can see it the night before at the Musician's Union Building at 322 W 48th Street! And, like all events at the Musician's Union, it's free! The event is scheduled tentatively from 6-9pm, but check the DHC Tour Page for updates and keep an eye out for confirmation in our next mini-blast. Harpists, composers and other musicians, you'll get to meet and play the harp, learn some techniques, check out Deborah's favorite gear and learn some playing secrets you'll see at the shows! Non-harpists, think of this as HipHarp 101 or "Show & Tell." E-mail info@HipHarp.com in advance so we can be sure to reserve you a space. If you're coming from out of town, ask for our list of affordable lodgings in NYC when you e-mail.
