Buckley resident Cassie Reinbolt, a freshman at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, has been invited to perform harp with Grammy-nominated composer and recording artist Deborah Henson-Conant and the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra Saturday. The performance is set for 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Pantages Theater in Tacoma.
Reinbolt will join Henson-Conant and eight other local harpists in a unique ensemble called “The Harp-Breakers,” during Henson-Conant’s alternate-symphonic program with the TSO featuring electric harp, voice and orchestra in a fusion of folk, flamenco, Latin and blues.
Henson-Conant tours internationally in solo and orchestral concerts, and is known for her music special on PBS, “Invention and Alchemy.”
Reinbolt, a dean’s list student at PLU, is studying for a music degree in harp performance. She performed with the Tacoma Youth Symphony 2009-10 as principal harpist and with the South Sound Strings Harp Ensemble for the past eight years. She studies with Patricia Wooster.
