After recent performances throughout Europe—including Scotland, the UK, France, Belgium, and Germany, Henson-Conant returns to TCAN, a venue closely tied to her history. She was among the first artists to appear on TCAN’s main stage following its opening, establishing a long-standing relationship with the venue and its audiences.
Since her initial appearance at TCAN, Henson-Conant’s music has continued to resonate far beyond her own performances. Her compositions are now performed internationally by artists including Orpheum Grand Prize winner Kaitlin Janelle Hui at the Vancouver Academy of Music and Ukrainian bandura virtuoso Iryna Lytvynenko, who has adapted two of Henson-Conant’s concertos for the bandura – Ukraine’s national instrument and a powerful symbol of Ukraine’s national identity. Reaching audiences across the globe - including in Israel, Iran, Singapore, Australia, Germany, Canada, and the Americas - her works have been recorded by the Salzburg Philharmonic and are recognized as required repertoire by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.
