Cellist Allison Eldredge is a rare talent who has successfully made the transition from exciting virtuosic prodigy to important, mature artist. Early in her career, she was awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant and named Musical America's Young Artist of the Year, and has since received critical acclaim for her technical power and her impassioned performances in the premier concert halls of North America, Europe, Israel, Latin America, and the Far East.
