Dear All,

Spring 2013 is here, and I’m very happy to introduce my new project, «  Don’t worry, be haRpy ! » in the United States and in France.

 This new project will take place during a 3 year period with different partners in Europe and in the USA, and there will be events around composing, performing and teaching.

Writing a Jazzoper(h)arp is very exciting. Building an artistic bridge between France and Chicago is amazing too. The story is freely inspired by « The Baron in the Trees » by Italo Calvino and its theme of paradox between nature and civilization.

The first step is with a trio consisting of  harp, double bass and drums, with no text. One hour of natural noises from nature and civilization will be a part of the music around the four seasons. The original music with acoustic and electronic sounds combines  imagination, universality, love, and travels. The artistic team is Marc Buronfosse/ Larry Gray – double bass, Fabrice Moreau/ Paul Wertico – drums, Céline Grangey –sound engineer, and me on two harps.

 The Kickstarter project will be on line for one month in April, and it’s goal is to reach $5000US. The first gigs will be in Chicago on June 2^nd and 21st, and in France on May 26th in Grosrouvre and on July 27th in Chamarande Other concerts on my website www.isabelleolivier.com
