USC Symphony Orchestra: Dvořák and the Historic Cello of Pablo Casals

Amit Peled is a highly south-after performer and pedagogue. The New York Times wrote of guest artist Amit Peled’s “glowing tone” and “seductive timbre.” He performs on the historic cello of Pablo Casals (a Goffriller ca. 1733) for Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B minor. Performances by winners of the USC Concert-Aria Competition also play on this concert.
