Belle Chen  Ravel in the Forest

Pianist-composer Belle Chen re-imagines her album ‘Ravel In The Forest’ live with her modern chamber ensemble.‘Ravel In The Forest’ leads the listener through ancient woodland, quiet clearings and tropical canopies. We’re accompanied by birds, a chameleon, a dragonfly… an imaginary space filled with the wonder of the natural world.Belle’s approach blurs the lines between classical and electronic music. It is described as ‘original and provocative… feels like the sense of discovery’ (Brian Eno). Hovering between the piano and an array of keyboards, she blends synth explorations and free flowing improvisations that could feel equally at home on jazz or experimental stages.In this special performance, Belle is joined by a string quartet from the award-winning Engines Orchestra. They are led by Phil Meadows (Metropole Orkest, BBC Concert Orchestra, Royal Northern Sinfonia). They are joined by multi-instrumentalist Brendan Cox (Imogen Heap, Guy Sigsworth, Patrick Wolf), keyboardist Phil Merriman, and Korean piri artist SEAYOOL.
