This event will take place in EartH Theatre.

**Part of the EFG London Jazz Festival**

**Pianist composer Belle Chen brings her unique immersive live performance to EartH Theatre, reimagining her whimsical and imaginative album ‘Ravel In The Forest’ live with her modern chamber ensemble.**

**This special performance will be in L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound by L'Acoustics.**

**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 new album ‘Ravel In The Forest’, 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.**

**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 (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 and free flowing improvisations that feel equally at home on jazz orexperimental stages.**

**In this special performance, Belle is joined by a string quartet from the award - winning Engines Orchestra led by Phil Meadows (Metropole Orkest, BBC Concert Orchestra, Royal Northern Sinfonia), multi - instrumentalist Brendan Cox (Imogen Heap, Guy Sigsworth, Patrick Wolf), and Korean piri artist Seayool.**
