Raphaela Gromes
- Violoncello
General management
Cellist Raphaela Gromes is one of the defining voices of her generation. She has been an exclusive artist with Sony Classical since 2016, and her multi-award-winning albums have been honoured with the Opus Klassik, the Diapason d'Or and the German Record Critics' Award, among others, and have topped the German classical charts. With her successful album Femmes (2023), which brings together works by 24 female composers, she caused a worldwide sensation and set an artistic example for the visibility of female composers.
This was followed in 2025 by the Fortissima! project: a double album featuring newly discovered works by female composers, accompanied by a book of the same name published by Goldmann Verlag / Penguin Random House. In the book, Gromes recounts the fascinating life stories of these women – intelligent, passionate and captivating – adding an intellectual and social dimension to the musical project. Presentations will take place in Montpellier, the Berlin Philharmonic and the Royal Albert Hall in London, among other venues.
