This new symphonic arrangement of Jerusalemanwas created with conductor Derrick Hodge and his Colour of Noize Orchestra who Kidjo notably collaborated with on her African Symphony project and recently performed with at her sold-out Carnegie Hall show in November. Her rendition closely follows her performance at the grand reopening of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris this past weekend. The globally broadcast ceremony celebrated the reopening of one of the most famous buildings on earth – a symbol of Paris and the French Nation – the UNESCO World Heritage Site is now open to the public again for the first time since the devastating arson in 2019.
