Jean-Michel Jarre

Sponsor of the 17th UNESCO Week of Sound Musician, composer, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for the promotion of tolerance and the defense of the environment and cultural heritage.
“I’m delighted to be the patron of this 15th edition of La Semaine du Son, at a historic moment for the field of sound, since a resolution has been accepted by UNESCO on the importance of sound in the world. As a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for over 25 years, and as a musician, I’ve campaigned hard for the importance of intangible heritage, that which makes up the DNA of a society, i.e. its crafts, its cinema, its gardens and its sounds. I can only rejoice at this historic step forward.”
