JARRE 'AKROPOLIS' CONCERTS
MAY
22ND: Jean Michel Jarre's Concerts in
Athens on June 19th & 20th 2001, have now been officially named
as 'AKROPOLIS', and will feature only Jean Michel Jarre Tracks.
Jean Michel Jarre was invited to perform in Athens by Mrs
Marianna Vardinoyannis, UNESCO Ambassador and President of ELPIDA
(Friends Association for Children with Cancer), last Autumn, with the
premise that the Concerts would be for Charity, to help pay for the
construction of a Hospital for Children with Cancer in Athens.
The
'AKROPOLIS' Concerts are scheduled to take place from 9:00pm-11:00pm
(Local Time), and will be televised on Greek and European Television,
with also the possibility of a Web-Cast being discussed, although no
further details are available at this time.
Originally the Concerts were planned to feature both 'THE VIZITORS'
and Jean Michel Jarre Tracks, but there will be no Tetsuya 'TK' Komuro
present, and no 'THE VIZITORS' Tracks performed at the Concerts according
to the latest information. However, Jean Michel Jarre will be performing
a NEW Track, 'THE
HYMN TO ACROPOLIS & THE ANCIENT GREEK SPIRIT', that
he was asked to compose as a Theme for the Acropolis, at the
Concerts.
Jean Michel Jarre's 'AKROPOLIS' Band has been officially confirmed as
containing Francis Rimbert, Christopher Papendieck, Laurent Faucheux
and Patrick Rondat. However, Jean Michel Jarre's planned historic collaboration
with Greek Electronic Musician 'VANGELIS' at the 'AKROPOLIS' Concerts,
has been officially confirmed as not taking place.

TICKET INFORMATION UPDATE
MAY
15TH: The Odeion of Herodes Atticus Box
Office in Athens have confirmed that the Cheap Tickets for Jean Michel
Jarre's Concerts in Athens on June 19th & 20th 2001, will not be
on-sale until at least June 1st 2001.
JARRE UK's latest information regarding the Cheap Tickets, is that they
are likely to have to be bought and collected directly from the Odeion
of Herodes Atticus Box Office in Athens, and cannot as this moment in
time be pre-booked.
JARRE UK's advice to anyone who has already booked a Hotel in Athens,
is to contact your Hotel and ask them to buy the Cheap Tickets for you
as soon as they become available, to avoid obvious disappointment.
The Expensive Tickets at 50,000, 60,000, 80,000 & 100,000 Drachmas,
are apparently on-sale now, and can be booked by contacting Mrs Helen
Stemitsioti on 0030-1-7757153, or by Fax on 0030-1-7752989.
JEAN MICHEL JARRE'S
NEW OFFICIAL WEB-SITE OFFLINE
MAY
2ND: Jean Michel Jarre's NEW Official Web-Site
(www.jarre.net)
has been taken offline, hopefully temporarily, due to differences between
Jean Michel Jarre and the Official Web-Team.
JARRE UK has organised an Online Petition to 'Bring
Back JARRE.NET', which will be handed to Jean Michel Jarre in Athens
in June, should the differences not be sorted out before this time.
Please
show your support for the Official Web-Team by signing the Online Petition.
Without an Official Web-Site, information regarding Jean Michel Jarre
will be very hard to obtain, and could jeopardise the future of all
Jean Michel Jarre Web-Sites, including JARRE UK.
