Amit Peled

Amit Peled's two critically acclaimed[citation needed] CDs The Jewish Soul and Cellobration were released under the Centaur Records label.

[6] At a height of 6'1”, Peled started out as a basketball player[7] and was called "larger than life" when he enveloped his Guarneri cello[8] and "Jacqueline du Pré in a farmer's body.

"[9] Peled often surprises audiences with the ways he breaks down barriers between performers and the public, making classical music more accessible to wider audiences through explanations, jokes,[10] and even with a basketball game challenge.

[11] Peled was a student of Bernard Greenhouse and is now a sought-after pedagogue of cello at Peabody Institute.

[13] Peled also collaborates with pianist Alon Goldstein and clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein in the Goldstein-Peled-Fiterstein Trio[14] as well as with pianist Alon Goldstein and violinist Ilya Kaler in the Tempest Trio.
