For its final concert of the year, the Grahamstown Music Society presents the Bushakevitz Duo on Monday 27 October, in a varied programme dominated by Schubert.

Works by Mozart, Respighi and Saint-Saens will also be performed.

The duo, comprised of Avigail Bushakevitz on violin and her brother Ammiel Bushakevitz on piano, is on a South African tour.

They were born in Jerusalem and raised in George.

Avigail is currently based in Berlin. She received a BMus at Unisa in 2007 before leaving Cape Town for New York, where she studied at the Juilliard School of Music, earning a Bachelor of Music in 2010 and a Master of Music in 2012.

In Tel Aviv she studied at the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music. She is pursuing further studies in Berlin at Academy of Music Hanns Eisler.

She is the winner of numerous music competitions in South Africa, including first prize in the Unisa National Strings Competition 2009 and the Samro Foundations 2012 Overseas Scholarships Competition.

She was awarded first prize in the UNO competition in Jerusalem in 2013. Together with her brother Ammiel, she won first prize in the Concurs Internacional Paper de Música de Capellades in Catalonia, Spain, earlier this year.

Ammiel is internationally acclaimed as one of the upcoming pianists and accompanists of his generation, having received top prizes at numerous competitions including the International Schubert Competition in Dortmund, the International Johannes Brahms Competition, the Concours Léopold Bellan in Paris, and the Wigmore Hall/Kohn Foundation International Song Competition, London.

He studied at the University of Stellenbosch and the University of Pretoria. After winning numerous competitions in South Africa, including the Unisa Overseas Scholarship for Performers, Ammiel furthered his studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” in Leipzig, Germany.

Thereafter he continued his studies at the Conservatoire Nationale Supérieur de Musique in Paris. Ammiel's upcoming events include concert tours of Israel, Portugal and the UK, including a recital in London's Wigmore Hall.

The concert is at 7.30pm in the Beethoven Room and includes Mozart’s Sonata for Piano and Violin in A major, three works by Franz Schubert and many others.
