THE JOY PROJECT
Let’s make music to safely spread joy, build human connections and bring us out into nature!
Meet us in your local park or city block for THE JOY PROJECT
Del Sol has commissioned a body of short musical works written to give joy. As our gift to our community during these times, we are performing these pieces in numerous free concerts at public settings around the Bay Area — parks, schoolyards, open-spaces — where people can soak up some musical “joy” while safely practicing social distancing in the open air.
Joy Project Logo by Terry Riley
We aim that every composition will be heard by thousands of people from all walks of life. The composers range from classical-music lions to young students and non-classical figures. Legendary Terry Riley, who was the first to reply, gave us this drawing that has become our project logo.
We continue to update information about our composers, locations and schedule.

“I followed you on my walk around the hill and sat down as you set up to play/perform - giving the gift of music - freely and with pure spontaneity. You made ‘an old man’ very happy and I am very grateful.”
