She has performed at chamber music festivals in Davos, Verbier and Kronberg, among others. She teaches at the Berlin University of the Arts. What do you find particularly appealing about playing the viola?
As a chamber musician, she performs in duo programmes with her brother, the pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz, among others. Is there a key work that started your love of music?
Is there an instrument other than your own that you would like to master? As a former trumpeter, I have mastered all valve instruments in the tenor and alto registers, plus trombones with historical bore sizes. That’s quite enough for me.
As with string players, she is particularly careful with her fingernails: “I always have nail clippers and other accessories with me to trim any ‘claws’.” From Ronith’s instrument case What looks like a corkscrew handle is actually the tuning key!

Others count fewer and come up with 21 original concertos by the Viennese composer, for example.
During our 2003/04 season, we developed a program together with our volunteers that has since served as a model for other organizations.
Other musicians travel here from all over the world to play live for our audiences. There are also children’s concerts, theatre with music or concerts in which only certain instruments perform together. For example, two violins, a viola and a cello.
I think we challenged each other. I wrote the first movement and sent it to her. It has a kind of passacaglia in it that keeps rolling back, almost like a baroque lament, although it is not sad.
Before a concert or other important moments, I like to talk to people. It distracts me and calms me down. You come from Finland and previously played in an orchestra in Helsinki. What was different?
With ‘Our People’, tenor Frederick Ballentine and pianist Kunal Lahiry have created an inspirational evening in honour of black and queer voices with voguing and songs by Aaron Copland, Franz Schubert, Margaret Bonds, John Musto, Nina Simone and others.
