The Concerts Of Jean-Christian Michel Are An Invitation To Dream And To Travel : The Public Discovers Beyond The Beauty Of Music, The Fairy Of A Wonderful Show Jazz Alchemy & Traditional Sacred Music In Church, With Laser Show, Choirs, Interstellar Spectacle In Front Of Giant Screen
Jean-Christian Michel has invented a unique musical style, inspired by a whole culture
of classical music (notably
the Sacred Music of J.-S. Bach and a sophisticated Jazz. He is one of the founder of the "Classical-Jazz" Crossover,
with the famous Jazz pianist John Lewis and the drummer Kenny Clarke
from MODERN JAZZ QUARTET, and some others brilliant musicians.
Today
the music of Jean-Christian Miche is still evolving. Calling on the
multidimensional sounds given by modern technology, the great composer has
created "JAZZSPATIAL & SACRED MUSIC CROSSOVER", a futuristic
music with spatial echoes, which remains warm-hearted and grandiose.
Jean-Christian Miche has discovered how to create a music which is ultra-modern, yet
touches the heart with a "primitive emotion" and does not release it.
Certain musics lead to dream, others, sustained by a flexible heartbeat,
would give almost desire to dance...
Strict
in its structures, the musical art of Jean-Christian Miche is just
like the universe which it irresistibly
recalls : harmonious, ample and timeless.
Reaffirming
in the modernity its prodigious emotional power, the music of JEAN-CHRISTIAN
MICHEL takes his listeners on strange star-splashed journeys.

CHURCH AND CATHEDRAL CONCERTS
Traditionnal church concert
Every
recital begins with this call from the known towards the the unknown.
Then one can listen to a strange music of which one did not even
suspect the existence, so much is it difficult to define. When
Jean-Christian Michel plays, he seems to find the notes beyond
himself, in the "other dimension". He
restores, throughout his recital, this mysterious force drawn
from the infinite, and knows how to share it with a wonderful
sensitivity.
Because, of course, Jean-Christian Miche calls on real concert artists to exploit the beauty of
the sublime sounds which he is using.
