Leo Popplewell

A dynamic young cellist who plays with "full-blooded commitment” and "delicious dancing grace" (The Telegraph), Leo Popplewell studied at Clare College, Cambridge, and later at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. 

He has performed as a soloist and chamber musician in many of the world’s leading concert halls, including Carnegie Hall and Wigmore Hall. In 2017 he formed the Mithras Piano Trio, taking first prize at the 10th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition and 67th Royal Over-Seas League Competition. They were selected as Kirckman Concert Society Artists in 2019, and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for the 2021-23 seasons. In 2022 he joined the London Mozart Players as co-principal cellist.

He spends his downtime making Kimchi, playing board games and running along canal towpaths.
