Jean-Michel Jarre
Jean-Michel Jarre’s concerts in China, known as “The Concerts in China,” were a groundbreaking series of performances held in October 1981. These concerts were significant because they marked the first time a Western contemporary musician was officially invited to perform in China after the Cultural Revolution.
Jarre performed five concerts in Beijing and Shanghai, which were attended by thousands of people. The concerts featured a mix of his well-known tracks and new compositions inspired by Chinese culture. Notably, the performances included a rearranged traditional Chinese song, “Fishing Junks at Sunset,” performed with the Peking Conservatoire Symphony Orchestra.
The concerts were recorded and later released as a live album titled “Les Concerts en Chine” in 1982. This album includes live material, ambient sound recordings, and one new studio track, "Souvenir of China".
