Michael Canitrot, Who Played the Reopening of Notre-Dame, Takes Us Inside His DJ Set
The French producer performed a 10-minute melodic techno set in front of the cathedral as part of a show that also included Pharrell and Yo-Yo Ma.
It was a très joyeux occasion for Paris and the world beyond this past Dec. 7, when the city’s Notre-Dame Cathedral reopened its doors after a five-year closure, which followed a 2019 fire which burned through the building’s roof. A series of musical performances — meant to happen during the reopening but ultimately recorded the night prior due to bad weather — featured artists including Pharrell(who sang his 2013 hit “Happy”), French singer Garou, famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Gustavo Dudamel conducting the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and French electronic producer Michael Canitrot. His 10-minute set in front of the soaring cathedral included his own tracks “Light Odyssey” and “Niteroi,” along with an unreleased production called “Icon” and a remix of Moby ‘s 1991 classic “Go.”
