Jean Michel Jarre on November 8th 2008 in Belgrade
French composer, performer and music producer Jean Michel Jarre will hold a concert on November 8th 2008 at Belgrade Arena, which is also the promoter of the event.
He is regarded as a pioneer in the electronic, synthpop and New Age, as well as organiser of outdoor spectacles of his music which feature lights, laser displays and fireworks. Jarre has sold an estimated 80 million albums and singles.
The beginning og Jarre`s career is marked by Oxigene, a hit which was made in 1970 and only included in his first album in 1976. From then followed true music masterpieces such as Geometry of Love, Aero, Aerozone, Chronology, Fishing junks at Sunset.
During his cereer Jean Michel Jarre has staged big concert spectacles, often with audiences whose numbers were estimated in millions, using tall buildings or even whole cities as his stage. He has been on only three tours, the first one in 1981 in China, and the other two in the 90s in Europe.
Fitting his music masterpieces perfectly into most amazing stage effects at his concerts which are most frequently held outdoors and blending the existing architecture with the complicated system of lasers, fireworks and music, he creates a totally recognizable image and a new jenre both in music and concert performing art. Each concert`s theme is devoted to important events for particular regions, which makes his concerts really memorable. AOR (Paris, 1971), Destination Trocadero (Paris, 1989), Jarre Unplugged (Paris, 1095), Festa Italiana (Torino, 1995), UNESCO 50th Anniversary (Paris, 1997), Wetten, dass...? (Vienna, 1998), FIFA World Player 97 (Paris Dysneyland, 1998), France Festival (Tokio, 1998), FNAC Paris (Paris) were watched by millions of ecstatic people.
As UNESCO`s Ambasador of Good Will on December 16th 2006 Jean Michel Jarre held a concert called Water for Life in the Sahara desert in Marocco.
Since he has never before performed in our region, Jarre was delighted when he received the invitation, so we can expect an unforgetable concert at Belgrade Arena.
