Laura Cahen + Rosemarie

Le Marché Gare welcomes Laura Cahen and Rosemarie in Lyon

At Le Marché Gare, we are delighted to host an evening with Laura Cahen and Rosemarie, a double-bill that mirrors our commitment to intimate, forward-looking live music in Lyon. From our vantage point as a venue that prizes detail—sound that breathes, light that tells a story, and a room built for nuance—this date places two singular voices on the same stage. Laura Cahen’s writing has long woven together French chanson, indie-pop textures, and cinematic atmospheres; in our hall, those colors unfold with clarity, from hushed confessions to synth-warmed crescendos. Rosemarie, meanwhile, arrives with a fresh, magnetic presence that thrives on proximity: a voice that leans in, electronics that pulse just under the skin, and a performer’s instinct for sculpting silence as carefully as sound. Set within the raw, precise acoustics of Le Marché Gare, their pairing becomes more than a lineup—it’s a conversation between two artistic vocabularies, each magnified by the room’s close quarters and communal energy.

Current artistic momentum and a set crafted for Le Marché Gare

We welcome Laura Cahen at a fertile moment in her artistic journey, with new material in rotation on French stages and a live show that underscores her craft as both writer and arranger. On our stage, her performance favors clarity and intent: guitars and keyboards woven around her voice, electronic textures that never crowd the lyric, and dynamic arcs that pivot from whispered intimacy to luminous release. The set is curated to highlight the evolution of her sound—still poetically frank, still elegantly minimalist, yet more expansive in its production choices. Our technical team has built a light and sound design to mirror these contours, allowing shadow and glow to mark each chapter of the evening. Rosemarie’s arrival intensifies this sense of present-tense creation. Her songs, carried by a modern pop instinct and a delicate electronic backbone, are built for rooms like ours where every inflection is audible. Expect arrangements that flex live—drum programming that tightens and loosens in real time, synths colored for warmth rather than glare, and vocals that sit forward in the mix so the storytelling lands first. Together, their programs make space for reflection and release, for quiet confessions and rhythmic lift, without ever losing the intimacy that audiences come to Le Marché Gare to find.

As a venue, we have shaped this date to feel like a single narrative in two acts. We want you to hear how each artist approaches similar questions—identity, desire, memory, the electric charge of the everyday—from distinct angles, and how their music gains dimension in a live, shared space. Our stage plot is deliberately spare to keep transitions fluid and momentum intact; our lighting cues are designed to paint each song with a different temperature while maintaining a cohesive visual signature across the night. This is a concert configured for discovery as much as recognition: you will recognize the lexical precision and melodic instinct that have built Laura Cahen’s reputation, and you will discover the immediacy of Rosemarie’s writing as it blossoms under stage lights. Le Marché Gare’s scale helps both artists speak directly—no filter, no distance, just the grain of the voice and the architecture of the song. We are proud to host them here in Lyon and to offer an environment where their latest work can be heard the way it was meant to be: close, alive, and vividly present.
