Born in 2008 Raphael Gisbertz is currently studying with Leonid Kerbel at the Musica Mundi Schoold in Waterloo, Belgium. He made his solo debut at the age of nine with Vivaldi’s Spring alongside the Niederrheinische Sinfoniker. Since then he has performed on major stages including Konzerthaus Wien, Tonhalle Düsseldorf, Palais de Beaux-Arts Brussels and Kölner Philarmonie. In 2023, he won several first prizes in national and international competitions such as the Concours Grumiaux in Brussels. Earlier that year at the German Musical Instrument Fund Competition, his impressive performance won him the loan of a 1700 C.G. Testore violin, and his interpretation of Bach was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk. As a regular participant in Belgium’s renowned Musica Mundi Festival and Course and the youngest attendee of the Gstaad String Academy, Raphael has gained extensive chamber music experience at the highest international level. A scholarship holder at the International Music Academy in Liechtenstein, he actively participates in its intensive programs and activities.
