French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre will team up with Queen guitarist Brian May for an exceptional one-off live concert event to open this year's Starmus Festival in Slovakia on May 12.With a theme this year of ‘Starmus Earth: the future of our home planet’, the five-day event, which runs from May 13-17 is a gathering that convenes Nobel laureates, scientists and researchers, astronauts, intellectuals and artists for lectures and discussions on topics including environment, AI and cybersecurity, and space, as well as featuring the annual presentation of the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication, for which Jean-Michel Jarre was a recipient in 2017. "As we continue to learn from the past, we should today listen to the future, being receptive and attentive to the incoming signals," says Jarre. "Breakthroughs, discoveries, and solutions, in all fields exist already there ahead, in the future, waiting for us to find them. It is our vocation as artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and citizens, to engage and activate progress, in creating a bridge from the future: this is the spirit of Starmus." Jarre's concert kicks off the event and takes place in cooperation with the City of Bratislava, is free to attend and will be televised on Slovakian National RTVS as well as globally via the EBU network and live-streamed on Jean-Michel Jarre’s YouTube channel. Starmus was founded by astrophysicist Garik Israelian, PhD, and Queen guitarist and PhD in astrophysics Sir Brian May, under the auspices of the late Stephen Hawking. www.loudersound.com/news/jean-michel-jarre-to-team-up-with-brian-may-for-biannual-starmus-concert

And it will be broadcast on his Youtube channel, "globally" (for those countries who can get it) on the EBU network and also on Slovak TV.

Yeah, there's a lot of videos of the rehearsals on several Jarre's facebook pages and that's the three tracks that he appears

I thought he played great. And he dealt with his "Jean-Paul" blip about as well as one can. I've said more embarrassing things on stage than that !
