Alon Goldstein is one of the most original and sensitive artists of his generation, admired for his musical intelligence and dynamic personality. His artistic vision and innovative programming have made him a favorite with audiences and critics alike throughout the United States, Europe, and Israel. He made his orchestral debut at the age of 18 with the Israel Philharmonic under the baton of Zubin Mehta and returned a few seasons ago with Maestro Herbert Blomstedt in Beethoven Concerto No. 1. In recent seasons, Mr. Goldstein has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic; Philadelphia Orchestra; the San Francisco, Baltimore, St. Louis, Houston, Vancouver, Kansas City, Indianapolis, and North Carolina symphonies; and orchestras on tour in Paris, Mexico, Russia, Romania, and Bulgaria. This season Mr. Goldstein performs in such cities as Philadelphia, Washington DC, Vienna, Berlin, and Milano. His concerts include return engagements with the Israel Chamber Orchestra, Jerusalem Camerata, Jerusalem Symphony, and the Bach Festival Orchestra. He will make his debut with the Holland Symphony and the Wilmington Symphony. [read more]
