We are delighted to share our project with you. We hope to make you smile as you read our story and discover our work.

Michel Garnier and Pakoune are two artists who are creating unique SOUND, LIGHT and SCENT shows. They astonished their audience for over 25 years, with 300 performances of 7 works in France, Europe and Canada.

Their creations gather up to 120 people on stage : musicians, comedians, solo singers, choirs...

Today, they need your help to finalise their last creation : “Le mystère de Patmos” (“the mystery of Patmos”). It will be a spectacular show, full of colours, music, lights and scents, written for orchestra, solo singers and a choir of 100 singers. Please check out the presentation video where you will find an audio extract of “Le mystère de Patmos”.

Michel Garnier is a complete artist : music composer, singer and also musician. His work is very particular in that it moves people’s heart, mind and soul, and is entirely dedicated to beauty, peace and love. Michel Garnier’s passion for inspired and sacred music has led him to excel in composing oratorios. He also composes various other more universal works such as “L’hymne à la tolerance” (“Hymn to tolerance”), which UNESCO requested to celebrate their 50th anniversary. This show was sponsored by Amnesty international, Mother Theresa, Abbé Pierre, the Dalai Lama and the singer Peter Gabriel. As a bonus, Robert Hossein also contributed the sound of his voice for the reading of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Pakoune is a solo singer, her talent lies in the warmth of her voice and some exceptional tonalities. Their approach: make it easily accessible to everyone. The goal is to offer free tickets, or at least cheap tickets which will not cover the real costs of production and performance. Numerous testimonies express the radiance of these musical creations. They spread a profusion of joy, hope, energy, love… a rare and precious force, especially in these special times of our current evolution !

Below are a few testimonials (translated from French):

“Thank you for your commitment to bringing the Light that we all need” M.R.

“What an extraordinary thing to have such spirits that can lift us up to something better” C.R

“Love, Light, Serenity… Recognition for all that you have been offering to our world, through your voices and your music for so long... Thank you "J.F.

“Thank you from bottom of my heart ! For the creation of this magnificent sacred music, celestial chants that carry you and make you travel far and make you dream ... dear author friends who share so much and gather around so much Beauty! Y.S.

"Exceptional and generous artists (...) that give without counting ... WE NEED THEM, and this time they need ALL OF US!" J.F.M.

Today, you are given the opportunity to show your support to artists and contribute to their work. Your contributions will help spreading a music which benefits are constantly being recognised.

This work is currently being written, but we are missing funding to carry it to the next steps: production, communication, costumes, venues, rehearsals, recording, filming… etc…
