Often called the “dean of American accompanists,” John Wustman has enjoyed a musical career in which he has worked with some of the greatest singers around the world. During his New York years, Wustman was the rehearsal pianist for the American Opera Society’s presentation of Bellini’s II Pirata in Carnegie Hall. He later traveled abroad to teach master classes in German Lieder in Uruguay, Peru and Argentina. His greatest career highlights include a series of televised recitals with Luciano Pavarotti.
