Following in the footsteps of his mentor, Håkan Hardenberger, he aims to contribute to the instrument's development by encouraging the creation of new pieces. In 2023 and 2024, he was selected for the “Un Été en France” tour led by Gautier Capuçon. He also performed at major festivals, including the Festival Radio France Montpellier Occitanie (closing recital, “Jeunes solistes,” July 2023) and the Festival Jeunes Talents (solo recital, July 2024).
Born in Ajaccio, Raphaël studied at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon with Clément Saunier.
