Raphael Weinroth-Browne – Lifeblood

Internationally renowned Canadian cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne has been celebrated for his emotive and virtuosic playing. He consistently wins over audiences of all ages with the beauty and intensity of his epic, cinematic compositions. “Using looper pedals, drones and special effects, he creates atmospheric soundscapes” (The Guardian) and “his playing marries the ability of a classically trained cellist with the scope and modern appeal of artists like Sarah Neufeld or Ulver.” (Heavy Blog Is Heavy) Combining a passion for metal, Middle Eastern music, and improvisation, he has developed an artistic signature that defies traditional expectations of how the cello should sound.

He has toured the world with the Norwegian progressive rock band Leprous and performed at Hellfest, the world’s biggest metal festival. In 2022, he played with Leprous at the Royal Albert Hall and opened for rock heavyweights Evanescence, Devin Townsend, and Apocalyptica.

His 2020 solo album Worlds Within was met with critical acclaim, garnering him coveted opening slots for international artists such as Hania Rani.

Most recently, he brought down the house with his fiery solo performance at the Cello Biennale Amsterdam, the world’s leading cello festival.

This performance will feature music from his highly anticipated new solo album Lifeblood.
