2024-05-12 Starmus JM Jarré Brian May

The Bridge from the Future concert in Bratislava was a monumental event that will be etched in the memories of all who witnessed it. On May 12, 2024, the legendary Jean-Michel Jarre, in collaboration with the iconic guitarist Sir Brian May, orchestrated a symphony of light and sound against the futuristic canvas of the SNP Bridge. This was not just a concert; it was a grandiose celebration of music and technology, marking the opening of the Starmus VII festival. Jarre, a pioneer of electronic music, presented a setlist that spanned his illustrious career, including a historic rendition of Antonín Dvořák’s ‘New World Symphony’ arranged with May’s guitar virtuosity. The Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir added a touch of local culture to the international spectacle. The concert, which boasted a 400-drone ballet and fireworks, was a testament to Jarre’s vision of merging art with environmental responsibility, as efforts were made to offset the carbon footprint of the event.
