Dear Olivier ! How fortunate to have welcomed you into my living room, and for all of us to have the privilege of such a beautiful show, given in such a simple and generous way. Your music and what you put into it has obviously been taken to heart. I hope there will be more opportunities to hear you around here. I was delighted to meet Julien and Ihab, you make a superb trio.

Beautiful moments "Résonances III, Oriental Poems". A beautiful, expressive journey, soft and enveloped in sensuality... Words dressed in poetry, vibrated, reasoned and resonated, arousing strong emotions throughout the body .... à fleur de peau .... The spoken and sung voices took us to colorful places .... Last but not least, the rich musical creations with their varied hues and rhythms often held my breath, recalling memories of Life or Death... The complicity between the musicians delighted me, as did their singularity, their expressiveness set in gold and silver .... Thanks again for these intense moments

Both musically and verbally, this show "enchants". The spectator is carried away on a magic carpet, suspended between space and time. Thanks to the lighting effects of the scenography, dawn rises through the morning mist, and the backlit musicians merge with the audience. And... just as the journey comes to an end and we'd like it to continue, you can rest assured that you'll take this unforgettable moment with you to a small corner of your heart.

ZZHR is a highly accomplished show, an enchanting journey with a thousand flavors of the Orient. The three musician-poets tell their stories, in words as well as in notes, sharing in all sincerity, without ever overacting, leaving room for the most subtle timbres, and for silence too. A privileged moment...

You've given us an incredible nugget, an intimate journey colored by music and texts as beautiful as they are intriguing, and even more magical through the kindness and friendship that unite three exceptional musicians. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Weird, weird,

This breath of the flute 

That takes me beyond words.

And now I'm singing in Arabic

With a heart that beats

In unison with the world.

Transported, jostled, turned upside down,

By three musicians 

Who open wide 

The gates of Heaven

Weird, weird...

The sounds of the various instruments in this concert took us on a journey that went straight to our hearts. Back and forth between the Arabian desert and Switzerland, with lyrics in both languages that leave plenty of room to dream. The auditorium and lighting effects enhanced the journey. The show was also much appreciated by our grandchild. Many thanks for this magical moment.

ZZHR takes us on a mystical journey, with notes of oriental flavors distilled with finesse by a trio of surprising accomplices, a delicious moment that I enjoyed with relish.

What a discovery... I was expecting a very sonorous and probably poetic event, and that's exactly what fueled all my sensations that evening. Julien and his comparses gave us a real show with their different instruments, oud, archlute, bass ukulele and flutes, incredible in their exoticism, size and sound. Each musician gave us the best of his or her instruments, it was agile, just right, so enjoyable. Yes, I may be exaggerating, but I'm not, because the readings of poetic texts associated with this musical creation enchanted me to the depths. ...and this pleasure comes back to me intact just by writing these few lines. Many thanks to ZZHR, I'll be back!

"Music full of poetry, breathes, assumed fragility, sublimated by the obvious complicity between these three musicians who know how to create an intimate space, conducive to introspection, dreaming and inspiration."

This evening, for the space of a concert, I saw myself taking the train, riding my bicycle. Shopping for fruit at the market; gently, simply walking. My head out in the open, notes twirling and caressing my hair in the breeze. Multiple encounters thanks to listening, exchanges. The oud and archlute, plucked string instruments with a history, I'm ready! The concert begins. No need to close your eyes to travel. From the first stroke of the flute, the fine sand of the dunes is already rising... When the 3 friends interweave their compositions, the scope of the setting increases even more in the improvisation. Colors sharpen, feelings mingle, plunging you into a variety of emotions. Sensitive, a tear rolls down my cheek. The Off voice is discreet, like an alarm that won't disturb you. It's reassuring. Once the show is over, you can go home, dreaming that poetry is involved. The notes interweave themselves. The feeling of sharing with friends... There's no limit to the poetry you can recount, it's enough to bring it to life. Thank you for this musical sharing...

I don't know anything about music, and I probably wouldn't have gone without your initiative, Catherine! Nevertheless, I was transported throughout the concert, a truly magical moment! Thank you for sharing your passion !

The complicity between the musicians took us on a journey to distant horizons, where emotions were stirred and poems of great beauty were discovered. It was magical and we loved it.

This Sunday, May 7, 2023! The Maison des Mascarons in Môtiers vibrated. The audience was attentive and dazzled by a magical trio. ZZHR had us dreaming with their spellbinding tales and music.   They kindled a fire and didn't extinguish it, much to our delight.

"What a wonderful time spent at La Tarentule, the perfect setting for close contact with the musicians, allowing us to capture all the subtleties of sound and stage. The three musicians took me on a spellbinding journey to the gates of the Orient. It was almost hypnotic. The choice of songs and poems, the sensitivity on the lips and fingertips, the well-orchestrated Off voice and all the ancillary sounds are a gateway to the wonder of the senses. The lighting is in unison, transforming the stage into a timeless, magical place. A must-see or return very soon. Thank you so much !
