Her music is not only meant to connect listeners to nature, but to connect them to themselves.

There are few places more beautiful, or serene than the universe of pianist Belle Chen’s new album ‘Ravel In The Forest’
- Flush the Fashion
Belle Chen understands how each note is a masterpiece and how every phrase is a musical poem.
She gets it. Plain and simple.
This is an artist that you listen to on your alone time and ingest. Take in. Absorb.
It’s right here.

Current Touring Programme:
Ravel In The Forest: An innovative performance from pianist-composer Belle Chen, with music from her album ‘Ravel In The Forest’.
Formats: fully adaptable from standard concert presentation to L-Acoustics Immersive Hyperreal Sound (fully programmed for L-ISA format).
Forces: scalable from solo to full ensemble, with minimum touring party of 3 (pianist + conductor + tm/tech) if partnering with local talent and string orchestra.
Audiences are sonically led through ancient woodland, quiet clearings and tropical canopies; accompanied by birds, a chameleon, a dragonfly - the wonder of the natural world is imbued into this imaginary space.
As 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.
This is Belle Chen's Ravel in the Forest.
"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
