Belle Chen - Ravel in the Forest (6pm set)

Belle Chen - piano, keys, synths, fx
Doors 5:30pm
Music 6pm-7:10pm
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.
Don't miss this special solo performance, for one night only in Brighton.
"This show deserved the standing ovation it received, a true spectacle like no other I’ve seen in EartH Theatre before.”
- Ryan Taylor, EartH and Village Underground
"There are few places more beautiful, or serene than the universe of pianist-composer Belle Chen’s new album ‘Ravel In The Forest’ "
- Steve Clarke, Flush the Fashion
