Miranda Henne

"Henne is known by Vermont audiences as an artist who stretches classical music boundaries to encompass all forms of music, including bluegrass.” —The Valley Reporter.

Cellist Miranda Henne composed and improvised the music for the one-woman play “Regeneration” produced by Phantom in 2017. The following year she returned to the Edgcomb barn with cello, banjo and two violins, co-writing and performing music with Ellie Miller (violin) and Taylor Shuck (banjo). The three wrote the music while staying in Warren and recorded an E.P. at Sugarhouse Soundworks run by Roger Stauss. In 201, she led a performance at Phantom Theater with classical string quartet; in 2023, she performed at Phantom with banjoist Greg Liszt (Crooked Still, Deadly Gentlemen and Bruce Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions Tour) and violinist Mariechristine Lopez (internationally acclaimed soloist/piano trio) mixing up the genres.

Recently, Henne performed over 200 concerts during a four-month tour with a piano quartet for Lincoln Center Stage. She once also collaborated with Shen Wei, choreographer of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Ceremony, to create and premiere The New You, featuring her musical improvisation.

Miranda holds a bachelor’s degree from the McDuffie Center for Strings and a Master’s degree in Cello Performance from Southern Methodist University. She also studied at the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto and at Oxford in the UK.
