Piano concert with Belle Chen

The Academy of Sciences and Literature | Mainz cordially invites you to a piano concert with Belle Chen in the Kalkhof-Rose concert hall on 31 March at 7 p.m.

Belle Chen's album 'Ravel In The Forest' (Platoon) takes listeners through ancient forests, quiet clearings and tropical canopies. You are accompanied by birds, a chameleon, a dragonfly – this imaginary space is imbued with the wonders of nature. In her live shows, Belle Chen pursues an idiosyncratic but delicate approach to musical storytelling. With the unmistakable influences of Maurice Ravel, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi's melodic sweetness shining through, Belle Chen blends experimental synth sounds, classical virtuosity and free-flowing improvisations that feel equally at home on jazz and experimental stages.

Belle Chen is a London-based pianist and composer. Her innovative approach, which blends classical and electronic music, has already gained recognition from leading figures in the music industry. Her relationship with music was also shaped by her childhood in Taiwan and Australia. As a result, her playing blends influences from Western and Eastern cultures.

Entry is free. If you enjoyed the concert, we would appreciate a donation. The donation box is located to the right of the entrance to the Kalkhof-Rose concert hall.

Tickets are required. Tickets are available here.
