I think many people are already started crying about this concert to be in the same style as Beijing and Gdansk or other of the small events performed the last 2 years, on the point you can compare them. I don't think this will be the same style, on the details where you can compare them. I think this will be different as 12DOTS was compared to many of his other concerts.

Look at that!!

Are there more pictures of what they are planning..., not making any travel; plans without it.

And is there any info on the arrangements atlas is providing in english? what is the plan, plane, helicopters, busses, 4x4's, camels? how are we getting there etc....

want more info!

[MiVo]

I wonder if the press conference did go ahead, I searched for info almost every where, Reuters, CNN, French yahoo site etc, nowhere to find more info about it. And Aero Prod keeps silent too.

[Kanta]

I do think it is reasonable to pay for tickets, as the money will go to making better water facilities in poor countries. It would be a good idea to raise money this way.

I am sure we will hear something soon about today’s press conference.

The concert is mentionned on http://www.map.ma/eng/sections/culture/ ... re_to/view site too

"Jarre will give a mega-concert on December 16 in the Moroccan Sahara, said the UNESCO.
During this concert, which will take place in the southern province of Merzouga, the modern Arab Orchestra of Casablanca, the philharmonic orchestra of Morocco and several soloists will share the stage with the French musician.

The concert will be aired live by the Moroccan TV channel and via Internet and several digital channels, noted the UN institution.

"Through this concert, we want to sound the alarm and raise awareness on the importance of water, which is getting rarer," said Jean-Michel Jarre, underlining that "if everyone understands how limited are the water resources, how many people do not have access to this resource -and die due to its shortage- and the scale of its dilapidation, we could find the best ways to manage and share these resources."

Jean-Michel JARRE is regarded as one of the pioneers in the electronic music genre. His album “Oxygene” launched in 1976 was a big success worldwide, the song “Oxygene Part IV” becoming one of the best-known pieces of electronic music ever.

He is well-known for staging spectacular outdoor concerts, which feature laser displays and fireworks, and three of which appeared in the Guinness Book of Records for their large audiences, often of several million. In September 1997 Jarre played in Moscow to celebrate the 850th anniversary of the city, with an audience of 3.5 million, Jarre’s 4th record for the biggest concert audience ever."
