An Israeli cellist of striking gifts and eclectic tastes, Yoed Nir has toured the world alongside a truly disparate range of artists, including Judy Collins, Regina Spektor, Rufus Wainwright, Of Montreal and Mountain Goats. Now, harking back to his classical roots, he plays material from a recent CD, Suspended Hours, which deftly mixes classical decorum and pop-song charm.

Article about my new solo album & collaborating with Regina Spektor by Adi Harari.
“The arrangement of the songs from the album for the performance is hard work for Yoed Nir, Spektor’s Israeli cellist, who received the longest and loudest applause when Spektor thanked her players for the tour that ended with this performance. His warm and confident playing manages to stand out, even against the background of Spektor’s virtuoso voice, which she uses as a drum and a kazoo when necessary.”
