Pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz is active as a soloist and chamber music player, but he is best known as a song accompanist. In that capacity, he was one of the last students of famed baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Bushakevitz was chosen as the accompanist for Fischer-Dieskau's master classes at the University of the Arts in Berlin and the Schubertiade festival in Schwarzenberg, Germany. Bushakevitz went on to a distinguished career as a vocal accompanist, performing with world-famous singers, including sopranos Teresa Berganza and Barbara Bonney. Bushakevitz has recorded as both a soloist and, more often, as an accompanist. He returned in 2023 with a pair of albums, backing soprano Katharina Konradi on the album Insomnia: Franz Schubert and baritone Samuel Hasselhorn on a recording of Schubert's song cycle Die schöne Müllerin, D. 795.
