Award-winning American soloist Alice Weilerstein has been playing the cello since she was five. She made her debut at the age of thirteen with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. She plays chamber music with her parents in the Weilerstein Trio. She appeared at Prague’s Rudolfinum back in 2011 in a gala concert with the Czech Philharmonic and other performers, including Daniel Barenboim and Radu Lupu.
