We are honored to have AMIT PELED return for his sixth appearance with the Strings. Praised by The Strad magazine and The New York Times, internationally renowned cellist Amit Peled is acclaimed as one of the most exciting and virtuosic instrumentalists on the concert stage today.

Having performed in many of the world's most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center in New York, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., Salle Gaveau in Paris, Wigmore Hall in London, and the Konzerthaus Berlin, Peled has released over a dozen recordings on the Naxos, Centaur, Delos, and CTM Classics labels. Musical America named Peled one of the Top 30 influencers of 2015.

Amit will perform the marvelous, but rarely performed, Concerto No. 2 by Victor Herbert. The Strings will add Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings", George Walker's "Lyric for Strings" and the delightful
"Concerto Grosso No. 1" by Ernest Bloch.
