Why This Project Inspires

Immersive Setting & Design
The Olivier Music Barn is a warmly lit, timber‑lined “jewel‑box” hall inspired by Haydn’s Esterházy Music Room, crafted for acoustic intimacy and enveloping sonic clarity. Its large picture window frames the Beartooth Mountains, creating a seamless interplay between performance and landscape. Acoustically designed with input from Arup, drawing on inspiration from Snape Maltings and Wigmore Hall, and awarded LEED Gold certification for its sustainable systems (geothermal, solar power, greywater reuse), the Barn resonates with artistry and environmental consciousness.

The Tippet Rise Experience
Set on 12,000 acres of Montana ranchland, “Tippet Rise is an enlightened compound where serious music and art and a vast stretch of nature meet blissfully” – The Independent. The venue features outdoor art by Calder, di Suvero, Ensamble Studio, and more, offering an expansive cultural canvas.
Meet Anna Kislitsyna
Dr. Anna Kislitsyna is a pianist and harpsichordist rooted in the Russian tradition, who debuted with the Omsk Symphony Orchestra at the age of 10. Her global career includes performances at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Kimmel Center, Moscow Conservatory, and Paris’s Cortot Hall.
She balances her performance career with significant recording work; recent efforts include a contemporary piano-and-orchestra album with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra on Navona Records along with solo and chamber music releases:

Kislitsyna is celebrated for her “heroic interpretive intelligence, subtle technical virtuosity, and distinctive mastery of nuance and color” (Daniel Kepl | Performing Arts Review). Beyond performance, Kislitsyna is an educator and advocate for contemporary music, serving on faculty at Haverford College and the Nelly Berman School of Music, mentoring students who have gone on to perform with major orchestras and win international competitions.
