Richard Moskowitz studied piano from an early age and began accompanying ballet classes as a teenager on Long Island and at Ballets Arts in Manhattan. During that time, he had the opportunity to play for distinguished teachers including Igor Schwezoff, Wilson Morelli, Vladimir Dokoudovsky and Nina Stroganova.
He went on to medical school, followed by surgical residencies and fellowships, and built a successful 40-year career in surgery. While practicing medicine, he continued to hone his musicianship in his spare time.
After retiring from surgery, Richard happily returned to accompanying, once again bringing live music to the studios where he began. He now plays for Princeton Ballet School of the American Repertory Ballet, Alvin Ailey, Ballet Arts, Hofstra University and more.
