Cœur de Pirate

Cœur de Pirate takes the stage at Le Phénix Valenciennes on December 5, 2026, for a concert focused on the essentials: songwriting, voice and piano. Behind the pseudonym, Béatrice Martin, a singer-songwriter from Montreal, has built since her beginnings a world where French chanson flirts with pop and touches of folk. Clear melodies, sensitive lyrics, and that recognisable timbre that plays with light and shadow: her signature has been refined across albums, balancing intimate confidences and everyday narratives.

On stage, Cœur de Pirate moves between stripped-down piano-and-voice settings and more electric arrangements, leaving room for instrumental interludes and choruses that linger. She revisits familiar songs while weaving in more recent material, with a way of telling stories without excess—just enough to capture attention and tug at the heart. Also known for her music for film and image, she brings a sense of motif and atmosphere that adds depth to the live show. At Le Phénix Valenciennes, that gentle tension between intimacy and expansiveness returns, carried by a direct stage presence and a piano that guides the evening from start to finish.
