Raphael Weinroth-Browne: Parallel Worlds
Chamberfest is proud to present Ottawa’s own Raphael Weinroth-Browne, an internationally renowned cellist and composer, in a concert displaying the “Parallel Worlds” of his many musical facets. Join us for Weinroth-Browne’s curated programme featuring excerpts from the album Worlds Within (cello and loop pedal), his projects Musk Ox (string trio), Kamancello (an East-meets-West duo), and new collaborations with kora player Siaka Diabate and the Ottawa Dance Directive, Weinroth-Browne is celebrated for his emotive, virtuosic playing and fearless improvisation both on stage and in the studio. Combining classical training with a passion for progressive metal and Middle Eastern music, he has appeared in over 150 studio albums and toured with the progressive rock band Leprous, opening for rock heavyweights Evanescence, Devin Townsend, and Apocalyptica.
