Zelkowicz played Bloch's soulful music with exquisite tone all the way from refined richness in his lower registers all the way up to gleaming and beautifully focused singing in the highest positions. His interpretation had touching dignity, even elegance, which provided contrast with the emotional directness of his other selections.

“A solo performance by cellist Aron Zelkowicz (Crumb's Sonata for Solo Cello) was another highlight of this adventurous and exciting concert... Zelkowicz took an impassioned approach that brought out the best of the much more traditional piece. “

-Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“The Musical Arts Center audience offered up cheers when Aron Zelkowicz finished his traversal of the Schumann concerto...There are more exhibitionistic concertos for the cello than this one, but the demands of phrasing and warmth — which Zelkowicz generously supplied — are considerable. His work had technical precision; very little could one question as he moved with assurance through the score. He gave his cello a seasoned tone. He gave the music fervor of interpretation. The cadenza in the final movement seemed almost effortlessly accomplished, and most effectively.”

“The conclusion of the new Pittsburgh Jewish Music Festival on Wednesday evening was a characteristically superb concert, combining bold programming with vibrant performances. The high quality of the new festival, successful in so many ways -- including box office -- is due to the hard work, smart choices, devotion and superb musicianship of young cellist Aron Zelkowicz. He displayed exceptional taste in selecting repertoire, hired great musicians to perform it, and played at the highest level himself.”
