Internationally renowned cellist, conductor and pedagogue Amit Peled is acclaimed as one of the most exciting and virtuosic instrumentalists on the concert stage today. “A glowing tone,” wrote The New York Times. “Fiery and intelligent,” wrote The Strad Magazine London. Amit Peled has performed in many of the world’s most prestigious venues, and released over a dozen recordings on the Naxos, Centaur, Delos, and CTM Classics labels. He is a cello professor at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.

Clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein is considered one of today’s most exceptional artists. Fiterstein has performed in recital, with distinguished orchestras, and with chamber music ensembles throughout the world. He won first prize at the Carl Nielsen International Clarinet Competition and received the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant Award. The Washington Post has described his playing as “dazzling in its spectrum of colors, agility, and range. Every sound he makes is finely measured without inhibiting expressiveness” and The New York Times described him as “a clarinetist with a warm tone and powerful technique.”
