Hara's Quest The songs on Hara's Quest are written in Barbara's unique musical style called "New World Fusion," a blend of world/folk and jazz that features sensuous rhythms and exotic melodies. The 11 songs on the CD explore a woman's journey to the South Pacific to rediscover her visionary powers. Listeners' comments: "I love your CD. It is incredible! I listen to it all the time in my car." - Janet Bowman, San Franscisco, USA "Let me take this opportunity
to compliment you on your CD. It is absolutely excellent. I spend
many hours in front of my computer. . . Listening to Hara's Quest
. . . makes my life much easier. "It expresses something so deep in people's hearts, so deep that people do not know themselves." - Liao Anli, Hong Kong, China "It moves me into my own experience and feelings. It seems to bring my awareness from the outer world into my personal inner world." - Florence Calgary, Canada Song Clips: In the underwater dreamscape "Dolphin Dream," Hara is guided by dolphins to foresee the future. In the sensual song, "Body," Hara begins to understand the purpose for her long journey. "Lullaby For A Deep Sleep," is a powerful song about forgiveness and letting go of the past. "Cities," is a hypnotic song about traveling by sea in search of "home." "After
a year of playing the Hara's Quest music to a variety of audiences,
several songs emerged as favorites. We have recorded two of those
songs on video. The video was shot at Concordia University's
Cazalet Theatre, in Montreal, Canada. My husband, Nicholas
Regush produced the video.

PERFUME OIL  (With Elegant Bag) |
Fragrance: Cutting Edge Productions has created a rich blend of oils called Hara's Perfume Oil, inspired by the song "Body" on the Hara's Quest CD.

On the Hara's Quest CD, Barbara is accompanied by seven instrumentalists who play keyboard, guitar, bass, percussion, flute, viola and tenor sax, and by three back-up singers. On stage, her music is performed by a core group of four musicians. |
Book of Dreams Book of Dreams is an experimental cabaret musical about staying true to your hopes and dreams. It tells the story of a young woman named Zoe who learns how difficult it is to remain true to her heart's desires. A zany musical, the show includes nine fantastical characters who either help or hinder Zoe's journey to self-understanding. Beautiful melodies combine with haunting futuristic sound effects. Barbara wrote the music and lyrics for Book of Dreams. The script was written by Nicholas Regush. Richard Hunt arranged the songs and played keyboard in the performances. The CD was engineered by Mark Corwin at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Barbara and Richard Hunt performed the show off-Broadway at Steve McGraw's in New York City. Hear the Audio clip, Was
It All A Dream. |
