Biography

Combining technical mastery, expressive depth, and performance experience, pianist Alon Goldstein, violinist Ilya Kaler and cellist Amit Peled join forces as The Tempest Trio to form one of the most promising young trios on the international scene.  Each of these acclaimed musicians is already pursuing an individual international career.

Alon Goldstein has played with the Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, Baltimore, Seattle, Vancouver, and Saint Louis Symphonies as well as the Los Angeles and Israeli Philharmonic orchestras under such conductors as Raphael Frübeck de Burgos, Peter Oundjian, Leon Fleisher and Zubin Mehta. He performed at such prestigious venues as the Hollywood Bowl, the Metropolitan Museum and the 92 street "Y" in New York, Salle Pleyel in Paris, the Mann Center in Tel Aviv, and the "Purcell Room" in London. "Goldstein is simply profound" wrote the Washington Post after his Phillips Collection debut in Washington DC. Following his triumphant return to the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote: "Such performances take a kind of courage so seldom heard these days you want to hear him at every possible opportunity".

Ilya Kaler is the only violinist ever to win Gold Medals at all three of the world's most prestigious competitions: the Tchaikovsky, the Sibelius and the Paganini. He has been compared to the likes of Heifetz and Perlman. He has performed with the Leningrad, Moscow, and Dresden Philharmonic Orchestras, the Montreal Symphony, the Danish and Berlin Radio Orchestras, and the Moscow and Zurich Chamber Orchestras, among others. He recorded more than twenty CDs for the Naxos label. Kaler's recordings of the Paganini Caprices have been deemed by American Record Guide to be, "in a class by themselves" combining "the perfection, passion, and phrase-sculpting of Michael Rabin with the energy, excitement, and immediacy of Jascha Heifetz."

Amit Peled was recently hailed by the American Record Guideas"having the flair of the young Rostropovich". Following his Wigmore Hall debut in London, the illustrious Strad magazine highlighted his "bold and dramatically conceived interpretations". Mr. Peled has been featured as guest artist in some of the world's major concert halls including Alice Tully Hall and Carnegie Hall in NY City, Salle Gaveau in Paris, National Auditorium in Barcelona, Konzerthaus Berlin and the Mann Center in Tel-Aviv. Among the orchestras with whom he has collaborated are the European Philharmonic Orchestra, Radio Symphony Orchestra Saarbrücken, Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya, London Soloists, Jerusalem symphony, the Israel Chamber Orchestra and the Musica Vitae Chamber Orchestra.

These three virtuosi bring a new energy to the concert stage with their dynamic musical interplay and spirit of collaboration. During the 2009-10 season The Tempest Trio will survey the piano trios of Schumann and Dvorak in the prestigious Seattle Chamber Music Festival, as well as at Washington DC's Phillips Collection, Four Arts of West Palm Beach, Converse College, and Sant Bani School.
