THE JOY PROJECT

Let’s make music to 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 and to be heard by thousands of people from all walks of life

In 2020-2023, as our gift to our community, we performed 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.

In 2024-2025, stay tuned for our upcoming fall and spring Joy Project extravaganza!


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.
