Christian Grosselfinger: Cellist and Composer

​

   Brazilian cellist and composer Christian Grosselfinger earned his degree in Composition from UNIRIO (Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro). He has been recognized as "one of the most promising Brazilian cellists" by FNAC, Lisbon, is an official endorser of REMIC Microphones (Denmark), and is a recipient of the prestigious PROAC 2022 award.

   His musical journey has taken him beyond Brazil, with studies in Portugal, Germany, and Austria. Throughout his career, Christian has performed with numerous renowned orchestras worldwide, including OSBJ (Rio de Janeiro), Volkshochschule (Karsruhe), Pro-Arte Orchester and Darstellende Kunst Orchester (Vienna), and Academica da Metropolitana (Lisbon). He has also graced notable stages such as the UNESCO Bienal Peace in Luanda and the "Virada Cultural Paulista."

Christian Grosselfinger is the creator of the innovative concept CELLOOP, a "one-man-orchestra concert" that merges cello and looping technology. This concept has evolved to incorporate keyboard and electric guitar, transforming his performance into a complete One-Man-Band experience.

Beyond his performance work, Christian demonstrated his social commitment in 2014 by founding the Gratefulpath project, a concert tour across eight European countries dedicated to raising funds for the eradication of poliomyelitis. He is currently preparing for his next major tour, "Cello Storm," scheduled for 2026.
