Avram Moyshe Kholodenko, also known as 'Pedoster,' was a Klezmer bandleader from Berdichev (Ukranian city southwest of Kiev). In the last decade, Kholodenko's compositions have been featured in contemporary Klezmer recordings, such as Budowitz's Mother Tongue (1997) and Khevrisa's European Klezmer Music (2000).
