Jeanne Cherhal

Radiant-Bellevue welcomes Jeanne Cherhal

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are delighted to open our stage to the singular voice and piano of Jeanne Cherhal, an artist whose intimate, finely chiseled songwriting thrives in a room designed for nuance and clarity. This date crystallizes the living energy of her recent artistic cycle, where the elegance of her melodies meets a dramaturgy that is unmistakably hers. After a period of acclaimed touring built around her latest creations and the vibrant album L'An 40, Jeanne returns to the spotlight with a program that engages both heart and mind: an encounter where storytelling, humor, and the tactile grain of the piano weave a close-knit bond with the audience. Our hall’s warm acoustics and focused sightlines are made for her dynamic approach to phrasing—softly shaded one minute, gloriously percussive the next—allowing every inflection of voice and keys to bloom. Expect an evening that feels handcrafted, a concert that invites you into the very architecture of her songs and the narrative threads they carry.

On stage at Radiant-Bellevue

We love the way Jeanne crafts her setlists at Radiant-Bellevue: she allows newer pieces to reveal themselves gradually, then balances them with works that have become touchstones for longtime listeners. In recent shows, luminous moments from L'An 40 have found their place at the center of the experience; titles such as L'An 40, Rabat-joie, and Cheveux courts bring a contemporary pulse, while earlier favorites like Douze fois par an or Un couple normal gain new resonance in stripped-back, pianistic forms. The result is a living portrait, built in front of your eyes and ears—verses brushed with irony next to confessional asides, sudden accelerations resolving into crystalline cadences. Our team has shaped the room for this intimacy: a stage plot that places the grand piano at a gentle diagonal, lighting that sculpts rather than blinds, and a sound mix that respects the air around each note. Jeanne’s rapport with listeners is central to the evening; small spoken bridges, generous laughter, and that unmistakable clarity in diction carry even the subtlest line to the back row. It is music that breathes, and in our space you can hear it inhale and exhale in real time.

Artistically, Jeanne Cherhal is in full flight, and we are proud to be a waypoint in that momentum at Radiant-Bellevue. She continues to refine a signature that joins literary precision with rhythmic daring, exploring character studies and snapshots of daily life with a cinematic eye. Her recent tours have shown a renewed appetite for contrast: tender miniatures answered by bold, left-hand-driven grooves; pointillist harmonies set against declamatory choruses; intimate confidences that open suddenly into shared anthems. The evening here will reflect that breadth, from delicate nocturnes to pieces that thrum with kinetic energy. We design the concert experience accordingly—welcoming you into the hall with a sense of calm, letting the lighting bloom as the first notes sound, and guiding the dynamics so that a whisper can be as thrilling as a crescendo. For us, hosting Jeanne means shaping a space where words land with intent and where the piano becomes its own small orchestra. Whether you come to discover the new chapters unveiled since L'An 40 or to meet familiar songs in a refreshed light, this is a performance set to reward close listening, celebrate spontaneity, and reaffirm the joy of sharing music together at Radiant-Bellevue.
