Virtual concert by Jean-Michel Jarre at Notre-Dame: the composer wants to "send a message of hope"
"We will be able to see the concert in virtual Notre-Dame, myself in the studio controlling the avatar, and at the same time the facade of the cathedral, entirely scenographed, explained the composer on Tuesday on the set of BFM Paris. Because it is she who will make us pass to the new year. "
The musician will wear motion sensors and play on his real instruments live from a Parisian studio on the evening of December 31. These sensors will allow his avatar to reproduce his exact gestures.
"The sensations are practically the same", assures Jean-Michel Jarre. "It feels like you're on a real stage with a real audience. You are teleported with incredible ease into a fantasy world."
Finally, in the eyes of the composer, "it's a bit like in the movie The Matrix". "But less dramatic!", He promises.
"Give culture the consideration it deserves"
Besides celebrating the New Year in an emblematic place of the capital, Jean-Michel Jarre explains that organizing this virtual concert is also a way of "sending a message of hope for the end of this tunnel, which we all want" . "It is also to pay homage to Notre-Dame, who was weakened like us," he judges.
It is also about highlighting the world of culture, which suffered greatly in 2020.
"We must give back to music in particular, to culture in general, the consideration it deserves, assures the composer. We must learn to respect culture and give it the value it deserves. "
Rendezvous on December 31 from 11:25 pm on BFM Paris to attend the Jean-Michel Jarre show live.
