Jorane Pelletier (born October 12, 1975),[1] known professionally as Jorane, is a French-Canadian singer/cellist, who is notable for her alternative music style on a typically classical instrument as well as her ability to sing while playing cello at the same time.

She has worked with Sarah McLachlan for her record Afterglow.[2] In 2004, the press also reported that Jorane would appear on a Halloween special of the television series ZeD to perform a "witchy acid cello".[3]

She has released eight full-length studio albums to date.

Jorane performed a completely improvised piece inspired by the images she was presented with on a large screen, in Montréal on July 7, 2007 as part of "Montréal Terre", a sister concert of the Live Earth concerts.[4]

In addition to her own recordings, she composed the film score for the 2013 film Louis Cyr.[5]
