Rihab Chaieb, mezzo-soprano, with Ammiel Bushakevitz, piano & guitar
Advertisement
Tunisian-Canadian mezzo-soprano Rihab Chaieb and Israeli pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz blend French repertoire with Tunisian lullabies.
Chaieb’s voice has been praised for possessing a “a dark, velvety sheen, rich but never overindulgent” (Stage and Cinema). A former member of the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Program, Chaieb has quickly become one of the most compelling voices of her generation appearing regularly at the Canadian Opera Company, the Metropolitan Opera, and throughout Europe.
Ammiel Bushakevitz began playing the piano at the age of four. As a song accompanist, soloist, and chamber musician, he has performed on six continents, including at Carnegie Hall in New York, Wigmore Hall in London, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and the Shanghai Concert Hall.
