Description
Alon Goldstein, the pianist of the Tempest Trio, is one of the most original and sensitive pianists of his generation, admired for his musical intelligence, dynamic personality, artistic vision and innovative programming. His orchestral debut took place when he was 18 with the Israel Philharmonic under Maestro Zubin Mehta; in April of 2008, he returned with Maestro Herbert Blomstedt. Since then, Maestro Goldstein has performed in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Baltimore, St. Louis, Houston, Vancouver and Kansas City. Abroad, Maestro Goldstein has collaborated with orchestras in Paris, Russia, Romania and Bulgaria.

During his 2012-13 season, Maestro Goldstein had toured Central and South America with the Israel Chamber Orchestra under the baton of respected conductor Yoav Talmi, giving highly acclaimed series of sixteen concerts that featured Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 1. Other concerts include his debut with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra – featuring Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 2 – and his performance with the Tokyo String Quartet in its final season of concerts.

Maestro Goldstein’s most recent debuts include his Carnegie Hall appearance in the Mozart Triple Concerto with Joseph Kalichstein and Shai Wosner, his successful performance with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Vladimir Jurowski, and playing with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, conducted by Leon Fleisher. His recital and chamber music concerts in Beijing, Guatemala City, Kent (UK), Chicago, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv were all highly acclaimed.

As a recording artist, Amit recently released his fourth Centaur Records CD, “Collage” which will be closely followed by his recording of the Schumann Cello Concerto with the Washington Chamber Orchestra. These records follow three immensely successful installments, “The Jewish Soul,” “Cellobration,” and “Reflections.” As an active chamber musician, Peled is a founding member of the famed Tempest Trio with pianist, Alon Goldstein and violinist, Ilya Kaler. Their Dvorak CD on Naxos has been described as “The best ‘Dumky’ on disk ever!”

Also performing with Alon Goldstein is Solmaaz Adeli. Recent highlights for the mezzo-soprano include a performance of the Austrian and American National Anthems at the US Embassy’s Independence Day Celebration for an audience of 3,000, people, a SongFest Fellowship for the 2017 Winter Intensive working with Graham Johnson, Sir Thomas Allen, and Susanne Mentzer, a debut of Gluck’s Orfeo with the Virtuosi Summer Music Festival in Connecticut under Maestro Adrian Sylveen, as well as Ravel’s Concepción in L’Heure Espagnole in a collaboration with the Opera Academy of California and Island City Opera.

An avid performer of Contemporary music, Solmaaz Adeli debuted the West Coast premiere of Norwegian composer Kim André Arnesen’s Requiem and together with the Santa Cruz Chamber Players gave the world premiere of Dolcissime Suite by Grammy Award Winning Barry Phillips. Solmaaz created the title role in François Pierre Descamp’s new opera Zumurrud and the role of Subaida in Rene Clemencic’s new opera Harun und Djafar with the Sirene Operntheater at the Vienna Chamber Music Festival under director Kristine Tornquist.​
