Israeli-American cellist, conductor, and professor at Peabody Conservatory, Amit Peled, is a musician of profound artistry and charismatic stage presence. He is acclaimed as one of the most exciting and virtuosic instrumentalists, who always strives to break down the barriers of the concert hall. At 6′ 5″ tall, Peled started life as a basketball player and was called “larger than life” and “Jacqueline du Pré in a farmer’s body” when he enveloped his cello. From 2012 through 2018, Peled performed on the Pablo Casals 1733 Goffriller cello, which was loaned to him personally by Casals’ widow, Marta Casals Istomin.
Amit has filmed this concert in the studio of his sister, sculptor Zemer Peled. Originally created for the Casals Festival of Puerto Rico, it is entitled “Dancing With Sculptures” and incorporates Zemer’s amazing sculptures.
The screening will be available till Friday 16th October.
