Bound by their Israeli roots, pianist Alon Goldstein, cellist Amit Peled, and clarinetist Alex Fiterstein formed the Goldstein-Peled-Fiterstein Trio in 2005. Today, the ensemble’s performances reflect both the special gifts and originality of the three artists as soloists as well as their marvelous sense of ensemble and love of chamber music.
Performances in recent and upcoming seasons include appearances at the Rockefeller Concerts and Peoples’ Symphony Concerts in New York, the University of Chicago, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, New Orleans Friends of Chamber Music, Chamber Music in Yellow Springs, Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts, the Schubert Club International Artist Series in St. Paul, and at the Rose Theatre 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, pianist, is admired for his musical intelligence and dynamic personality. Mr. Goldstein’s artistic vision and innovative programming have made him a favorite with audiences and critics alike throughout the United States, Europe, South America, and Israel.

Mr. Goldstein’s past appearances include performances at Carnegie Hall, with the Chicago Symphony at Ravinia, on the Indianapolis Symphony's Prokofiev festival, as well as international engagements with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.

Internationally, he has performed at Prussia Cove, the Verbier Festival, Klavier Festival in Rühr and the International Lieven Piano Foundation in Vienna. He holds the position of Jack Strandberg/Missouri Endowed Chair and Distinguished Visiting Professor in Piano at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory.
