Internationally renowned Canadian cellist and composer Raphael Weinroth-Browne has been celebrated for his emotive and virtuosic playing both on stage and in the studio.
He has played on Juno award-winning albums, appeared on major film and tv soundtracks and made viral YouTube music videos. 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 London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall and opened for rock heavyweights Evanescence, Devin Townsend, and Apocalyptica.
Raphael’s diverse collaborations range from Iranian to West African music. As a solo artist, he has appeared on coveted opening slots for Polish neoclassical pianist Hania Rani, French nordic folk ensemble SKÁLD, and the National Dance Company of Korea.
In October 2023, Raphael performed his acclaimed solo album Worlds Within with Ottawa Dance Directive in the National Arts Centre’s prestigious Southam Hall to a sold out audience. In 2024, he was commissioned by the UK-based company James Wilton Dance to create an original score for their latest work BACH Reimagined, which he toured extensively with them in the UK and Germany in spring 2025. Raphael’s new solo album Lifeblood is out now.
