Euronews and Jean Michel Jarre gravitate in similar directions, using the strength of images projected on the international stage. They also share common roots in the city of Lyon where Jarre was born and where euronews was established in 1993.
euronews will now accompany the artist on his European and global tours in the coming years.
The channel will be covering the release of Jean Michel Jarre’s albums, including the upcoming “Essentials & Rarities,” available as of Monday, 30 May 2011.
euronews will also participate in Jarre’s European tour which will soon take him to every corner of the continent
Jean Michel Jarre and the teams of Euronews are exploring a whole range of collaborative projects on themes such as innovation in images, sound, the media and emerging technologies.
