    Deborah Henson-Conant

    Deborah “DHC” Henson-Conant is a Grammy-nominated composer/performer. She collaborated with Camac Harps to develop her signature electric harp, the “DHC”. Her TEDx talk shares the story of that journey through music and words. Fluidly shifting between solo shows and collaborations with symphonies, theatres, dancers and musicians, she uses electric harp, voice and looper pedal to create layered soundscapes. Her interactive online “Hip Harp Academy” trains harpists from beginners to professionals in arrangement, improvisation and self-expression.
