IMPRESSIONS
How can we share our emotions to others ? Are you an adventurer ? With The New Princesses and Princes, we set out on a sensory voyage, drifting from planet to planet, opening the way to a deeper knowledge of ourselves.
Isabelle Olivier and Raphael Olivier are two award-winning performers and composers.Together they create a unique duet sound, blending their respective musical worlds as French natives. Hailing from Paris, they share their artistic palette on guitar and harp, and develop a journey of soundscapes at the crossroads of jazz, folk, and world music.This project is inspired by the open minds and open hearts of the people, places, and moments they’ve experienced as mother and son. Ranging from jazz standards to modern improvisations and traditional French songs, they invite you into their exploration of curiosity, togetherness, and musical innovation.
“Open” will be the 13th album by Isabelle Olivier, created as a duet with Raphael Olivier. It will be released on September 18, 2026, on Rewound Echoes, distributed by Believe.
Raphael Olivier has been chosen by the Paris Region and will present "The Melody of Oklahoma" in November 2026. He will create an hour long show, featuring original readings and musical pieces, revolving around his love for Woody Guthrie and the American land.
This remarkable project is supported by Compagnie Métamorphose, which will accompany him throughout the entire creative process.
A cine-concert in homage to these forgotten women
After researching and watching her filmography, Isabelle Olivier came up with the idea of creating a cine-concert around the figure of Alice Guy. In her artistic journey, Isabelle Olivier has collaborated four times with Agnès Varda – a pioneer of contemporary cinema. This deep motivation drives her to return to her roots. In tribute to these unfairly forgotten cinema pioneers, Isabelle Olivier, along with Tom Olivier-Beuf, composes an eclectic program accessible to all, incorporating a particularly elaborate sonic exploration between acoustic and electronic elements.
Diversity, our new film-concert dedicated to pioneering women from racially marginalized communities, raises urgent questions of racism and sexism and addresses today’s most pressing social issues. This project is supported by the Villa Albertine in DC.
At the crossroads of jazz, impressionist music, tango and electronic music of today, Impressions is an ode to life and the emergence of emotions. This show creates the meeting between music - a septet with harp, accordion, string quartet and drums - and digital creation. We find the inspiration of impressionist musicians, such as Mel Bonis, Lili Boulanger, Claude Debussy or Maurice Ravel, but also of painters, of Berthe Morisot or Marie Cassatt, Paul Cézanne or Vincent Van Gogh, without denying the influence of Alice or John Coltrane. A festive and sharing concert, led by the generous and talented jazz harpist Isabelle Olivier!
