Clare O'Connell

**Clare O'Connell** is a British cellist, composer, and interdisciplinary artist known for her evocative blend of classical craftsmanship and contemporary experimentation. Based in London, she’s carved a niche as a versatile collaborator, working across genres from avant-garde classical to electronic music and theater. Her recent releases, like *Light Flowing* and the poignant *Vocalise: I. Lamentoso (Edit)*, showcase her ability to weave raw emotion into minimalist soundscapes, often pairing her cello with atmospheric textures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, her project *The Isolated Cellist* gained attention for its intimate, improvisational recordings created in solitude, reflecting themes of connection and isolation. Clare’s work frequently bridges music with visual art and spoken word, and she’s a passionate advocate for commissioning new works from emerging composers. Whether performing solo or collaborating, she brings a quietly powerful presence to every note.
