Jean Michel Jarre - Short Biography
Jean Michel Jarre was born in Lyon on 24 August 1948, into a family of musicians.
At a very early age, he is initiated into the art of counterpoint, fugue and harmony under the direction of Jeannine Rueff of the Paris Conservatoire.
In parallel to his literary studies, he joins the Music Research Group (Groupe de Recherches Musicales, GRM) and works on electroacoustic music techniques under the direction of Pierre Schaeffer.
In 1986 Jean Michel Jarre celebrates the 150th anniversary of Houston (Texas) and the 25th anniversary of NASA at one of the most spectacular concerts ever given in the history of music. On this occasion, one and a half million Texans are introduced to Jean Michel Jarre's new album "Rendez-vous".
On 5 October, Jean Michel Jarre gives a concert in Lyon, the city of his birth, in honour of the visit of Pope John-Paul II. "Rendez-vous Lyon", which was a baroque entertainment, and a blend of classical and avant-garde, craftsmanship and hi-tech, of the past and the future, will be remembered as an outstanding concert.
In 1993 Jean Michel Jarre is once again in the spotlight. In May he brings out "Chronologie", and between July and October he presents his first tour, "Europe en Concert", to an enthusiastic public, performing in fifteen of Europe's major metropolises. This time, he transforms the site on which he performs into an imaginary city of music, images and light. From Lausanne to Seville, via Wembley and Versailles, these concerts were an absolute triumph.
That same year, he is appointed "UNESCO's goodwill Ambassador".
