H.R.H Prince Albert II of Monaco and his fiancée Ms Charlène Wittstock, in celebration of their wedding, will offer a concert by Jean Michel Jarre. On Friday 1st of July 2011 at 10pm, the Principality of Monaco will pulsate with Jarre’s electronic music.
Hercules Port, entirely transformed into a one-night stage, will showcase Jean Michel Jarre’s concert-event, a special creation for Monaco, in this historic context.
Monaco will be the casket for a stunning evening. Jarre’s futuristic concert marries lighting and laser choreography, HD videos and pyrotechnics, the visual score of his universal music, performed from the stage centred in the Port.
A concert in the city, or a city-in-concert, this civic event, open to all, will be broadcast throughout the Principality, as well internationally.
“It is a great honour to have been chosen by Prince Albert of Monaco and his future wife for such an event. It is also a real pleasure to be able to perform in the exceptional site of Hercules Port” states Jean Michel Jarre.

ჟან მიშელის ძმა გარდაიცვალა ამერიკაში
Kevin Jarre passed away at the age of 56. His aunt Patty Briley Bean tells the LA Times that he died unexpectedly of heart failure on April 3 at his home in Santa Monica, CA. He was a history buff and it was his research on the first black Civil War regiment that inspired him to write the 1989 Oscar-winning movie "Glory."
He went on to write the screenplay for the 1993 movie "Tombstone." Other credits include "Rambo: First Blood Part II," "The Devil's Own" and "The Mummy." It turns out he also began as director for "Tombstone," but was replaced by George P. Cosmatos, but Jarre's Charlton Heston scenes are included in the film.
He is preceded in death by his adopted father, Oscar-winning composer Maurice Jarre and his mother, actress Laura Devon. He is survived by his half-siblings, brother Jean-Michel Jarre, who is also a composer for movies, and sister Stefanie Jarre, who is a set decorator and production designer.
Just as an aside - "Glory" is a wonderful film. "Tombstone" is also one of our favorite movies. It may not have won a lot of critical acclaim, but we love it. Thanks for those, Kevin Jarre.
