Salon Poulencette “Grêle bêle Ravel” album launch at Kopli Couture

Salon Poulencette: “Grêle bêle Ravel”, album launch concert.

The title is inspired by Ravel’s piece “Noël des jouets” (“Christmas of the Toys”), in whose text the faint bleating of toy animals (grêle bêle) sounds. From this comes a playful mix of words and sounds. The album carries the decadent air of the fin de siècle, where beauty sits alongside melancholy, light alongside shadow, and holy peace alongside human restlessness.

The time of the holidays and of the soul is a reason to pause and reflect on what matters in the heart. The questions that moved the artists more than a century ago speak to us in today’s anxious world too. Perhaps now is the right time to step away from the emptiness of everyday life and the commercial glitter of Christmas.

“Grêle bêle Ravel” is a search for beauty and holy peace. Not necessarily bright or carefree, but one where white sits alongside black, broken tones and quiet longing.
