Cellist AMIT PELED is an avid professor at the renowned Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. But his successful career did not begin there...

For his Naples debut, Amit will be joined by pianist Dr. Alexandra Carlson and Naples Philharmonic principal cellist Adam Satinsky. The artistic crossroad of these acclaimed artists will bring life to some familiar and some unfamiliar to Naples audience works:

Hayu Laylot: An Israeli Song
J. S. Bach: Suite No.1:
Prelude; Sarabande; Gigue
Joachim Stutschewsky: Hassidic Sonata
David Popper: Tarantelle
G. F. Handel: Sonata for two cellos: Largo

CARRI COLVIN: Create from the heART

Carri’s "Scratch the Surface" series shows a gilded canvas torn wide open to reveal something beautiful emerging from the darkness. Brushes with hardship can become strokes of inspiration and hope on our  life’s canvas. With picture, sculpture, and story Carri Colvin shares her love of nature and  her passion to inspire others to live with hope.
Picture
MAUREEN GOLGATA is a classically trained artist, whose recent body of work explores metamorphosis and the dichotomous essence of life. Her paintings foreground beauty and light against darkness, resulting in bold expressions, both turbulent and poetically rhythmic that question what it means to be human and our role in the natural world.
​

Maureen will be exhibiting with Cube Art Fair, NFT Edition during Art Basel Miami 2021 this December.​
Picture
Picture
TRISH HENKEL: Nature and faith meets texture and color.

The movement, colors, and forms in her abstract art help to evoke emotion focusing on finding a sense of peace and tranquility. When focusing on positive things with intention, our bodies and minds can be at peace; "SPEAKING HOPE"  is encouragement into our lives.
 This is a ​COMPLIMENTARY EVENT
