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)!

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
