Wheaton welcomes back alumna Lauren Henderson, Class of 2009, to share the music that has been enchanting audiences across the world. “Through every lyric, she transmits connection and wonder; through every album, personal discovery…”. She’ll bring to us her multifaceted approach to music, as a bilingual songwriter, and a singer with familial roots across the Caribbean and Central America. “Washed with bright, bold harmonies and ruminative syncopation, her repertoire features tender ballads, swinging arrangements, flamenco dance patterns, Afro-Caribbean influences, and heartfelt storytelling”.
