Goldstein-Peled-Fiterstein Trio to give Impromptu Classical Concerts
performance at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on March 3
Fresh from the continuing success of Impromptu Classical Concerts’ offerings during the 2019 season, the popular concert series presents award-winning chamber music artists, the Goldstein-Peled-Fiterstein Trio, at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 3, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 401 Duval St.
Bound by their Israeli roots and academic connections to the Peabody Institute, Alon Goldstein, Amit Peled and Alex Fiterstein formed their trio in 2005. Today the ensemble’s performances reflect the musical gifts of the three artists with their compelling sense of the ensemble and love of chamber music.
As a trio their recent and upcoming seasons include appearances at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, Peoples’ Symphony Concerts in New York, the University of Chicago, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, New Orleans Friends, Schubert Club of International Artist Series in St. Paul and the Rose Theater in Lincoln Center.
The New York Times praised the ensemble for displaying “the kind of spotless technique that keeps the attention focused on the score rather than the vagaries of the performance.”
Alon Goldstein is an Israeli classical pianist much admired for his musical intelligence, dynamic personality, artistic vision, and innovative programming.
He has played with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, the San Francisco, Baltimore, St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, Toronto and Vancouver symphonies as well as the Israel Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Los Angeles, and Radio France Orchestra. He graduated from the Peabody Institute. Following his graduation he was artist in residence at the International Piano Academy in Como, Italy. He was recently named “Distinguished Visiting Professor” at the University of Missouri, in Kansas City.
Cellist Amit Peled has performed as a soloist with many of the world’s top orchestras, and in major concert halls such as Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall, Wigmore Hall in London, and Tel Aviv’s Mann Auditorium. Of his enthusiastically received Alice Tully Hall concert debut, the New York Times wrote that Peled produced a “glowing tone, a seductive timbre and an emotionally pointed approach to phrasing that made you want to hear him again.”
He is an instructor of cello at the Peabody Institute where, in 2003, he was the youngest professor to be hired at a leading musical institute. He plays Pablo Casal’s famed 1733 Matteo Gofriller cello loaned to him by Casal’s widow.
Alexander Fiterstein, on the clarinet, is the recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant Award, first prize winner of both the Carl Nielsen International Clarinet Competition and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions and has appeared in concert at the Lincoln Center, Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Jerusalem Chamber Orchestra, Danish National Radio Orchestras, Israel Chamber Orchestra, Tokyo Philharmonic and China National Symphony Orchestra. The Washington Post described his playing as “dazzling in its spectrum of colors, agility and range. Every sound he makes is made without inhibiting expressiveness.” A Juilliard graduate, he is currently Professor of Clarinet and Chair of Winds at the Peabody Institute.
At the March 3 concert, the Trio will perform the “Piano Trio in B-flat major, Op 11,” by Ludwig van Beethoven; the“Hassidic Fantasy,” by Joachim Stutschewsky; and the “Trio for Piano, Clarinet and Cello in A minor, Op. 114,” by Johannes Brahms.
Tickets for the concert cost $20, and are available at www.keystix.com, or at the door on the afternoon of the event. Cash, checks, or credit/debit cards accepted. Students will be admitted free. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
