AMIT PELED - Cello Teacher

Professor at the Peabody Conservatory of Music

One of the most sought-after cello pedagogues, Israeli cellist Amit Peled is a Professor at the Peabody Conservatory of Music of the Johns Hopkins University.

Musician of Profound Artistry

From the United States to Europe to the Middle East and Asia, Peled is acclaimed as one of the most exciting instrumentalists on the concert stage today and is described as a musician of profound artistry and charismatic stage presence.

Peled often surprises audiences with how he breaks down barriers between performers and the public, making classical music more accessible to broader audiences.

Tim Smith of the Baltimore Sun reflected on a recent performance: “Peled did a lot of joking in remarks to the audience. His amiable and inviting personality is exactly the type everyone says we’ll need more of if classical music is to survive.”

Today Peled, performs on the only known copy of the “Servais” Stradivarius by Vuillaume ca. 1865.
