Belle Chen

Notes fall like raindrops, quickening pace as the clouds gather. The piano melody splish sploshes?into the electronic soundscape; the trees become denser, the journey more profound. Belle?Chen's?album Ravel In The Forest, released on the Platoon label, leads the listener through ancient?woodland, quiet clearings and tropical canopies. We're accompanied by birds, a chameleon, a?dragonfly ? the wonder of the natural world is imbued into this imaginary space.?Fresh off the 2024 EFG London Jazz Festival, Belle is praised as an artist that is 'Original and?provocative? feels like the sense of discovery' (Brian Eno). The Australian Music Prize-nominated?artist's latest album charted at #7 on UK Official Chart?(Specialist Classical) and #15 on Australia's?ARIA Chart (Classical).? In her live shows, Belle takes a quirky, yet tender approach to musical storytelling. With the?unmistakable influences of Maurice Ravel, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi's melodic sweetness?shining through, Belle blends sonic synth explorations, classical virtuosity, and free flowing?improvisations that feel equally at home on jazz or experimental stages.?This is a solo performance that is not to be missed. "Belle Chen is a tour de force, blending classical mastery with modern innovation."?LeftLion "Nature's melody lingers in Belle Chen's music, shining through each composition like a gentle caress of comfort." c-Heads Magazine 10% administrative fee applies for online & telephone orders.A ?2.50 postage fee is applicable on all orders if opting for postal delivery.More information about booking fees Ticket prices for this event include a venue restoration levy.More information about our venue restoration levy
