Since its launch on January 18, the crowdfunding campaign for my musical project on Antoine de Saint Exupery has generated a lot of interest. So far, almost 100 backers have contributed over $7 700 to support the production of an album containing my symphonic piece Saint Exupery : of Heart, of Sand and of Soul, as well as the creation of a concert in tribute to this great French writer.

This great mark of solidarity moves me. Furthermore, I have reveiced fantastic news from the Antoine de Saint Exupery Youth Foundation which has it’s headquarters in Paris.

The Foundation has accepted my collaboration proposal. It means that following the lauching of the album this spring, part of the sales will help support the Foundation’s local initiatives helping struggling youth in France and around the world.

There is still time to back the Saint Exupery musical projet and make it come to life. On the project’s website, you can watch a short video providing more details and excerpts from my symphonic work recorded during its creation in 2012. I would also like to warmly thank my friends Joanne Mercier, Sylvie Bélanger, and Roger Guérin who support me by voluntarily producing the presentation video.

If Saint Exupery’s work moves you or if you want to support my crowdfunding campaign, I invite you to do so quickly. It ends on February 23. You can obtain a downloadable version of my piece, or a CD by participating.

And if you contribute financially and spread the word among your network, a big thank you in advance !
