Raffi Boden
Raffi Boden is a NY-based cellist, composer and educator known for his lush tone, groovy bass lines and versatility in a variety of genres. Equally at home in both classical and klezmer, Raffi has performed internationally in Europe and South America, locally in Carnegie Hall, and with members of the NY Philharmonic. Raffi is a member of the klezmer band Mamaliga, with whom he’s performed and been a guest artist at Yiddish New York, Yiddish Summer Weimar and KlezKanada. Their debut album of original klezmer compositions, Dos Gildn Bletl, was released in 2021 and hailed as “virtuosic and vibrant.” Raffi was recently in the Juilliard production of “Indecent”, for which he worked with composer and music director Lisa Gutkin to compose a cello part for the band. He is also a member of six-piece chamber-jazz ensemble Simone Baron & Arco Belo. Raffi holds degrees from the Juilliard School (MM) and Oberlin College & Conservatory (BM, BA).
