Is this the New "Riverwalk"? Invention & Alchemy on PBS

 HOW
DO YOU GET a wild harpist, an 80-piece
orchestra, a mad scientist's laboratory and a garbage
truck into your living room?

"Deborah Henson-Conant has been called many things – the “wild woman” of the harp by Doc Severinson, “a combination of Leonard Bernstein, Steven Tyler, and Xena the Warrior Princess” by Ed Siegel of The Boston Globe, and “Innovative, ground-breaking, boundary-pushing, flat-out brilliant!” by the Sonoma County Independent. However, no label fits Deborah Henson-Conant better than her very own name – herself – the essential “her.”

"Ever since she put a classical instrument on the map in the jazz field with her unique, custom-built, strap-on electric harp, Henson-Conant has been forging a path for musicians striving to not merely represent their instrument, but finding a way to make their instrument represent themselves – who they are."

"Invention & Alchemy" is a TELEVISION SPECIAL, airing on Public Television stations across the U.S.
and touring the USA and Europe.
