Ashland News: World-famous cellist gives 4-hour master class at Ashland High School

Ashland News covered our February 2025 events with two articles. Reviewing our February 2nd concert featuring cellist Amit Peled and pianist Daniel del Pino, Lucie Scheuer wrote:

Internationally acclaimed Israeli-American cellist Amit Peled, in town to perform a sold-out concert at Southern Oregon University Music Recital Hall on Sunday, Feb. 2, gave a lively, entertaining and highly instructive master class at Ashland High School on Friday, Jan. 31.

Both the concert and “Cello Day” at the school were presented by Ashland-based nonprofit Anima Mundi Productions.

In attendance on the AHS auditorium stage were 30 high school and middle school cellists and five bass players. The largest contingent of cellists, 13, came from Grants Pass High School. Others came from North Medford, South Medford, and Ashland high schools.

Ashland News music critic Lucie Scheuer called Amit Peled's concert "splendorous music" that "moves Ashland audience to its feet — after touching its heart."
