Biography Occupation Pianist, teacher

Years active 1967–
Ammer studied a master's degree in piano from the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg,
and has been recognised as one of the foremost musical educators and respected
pianists in Germany and Australia.[4] Ammer's pedagogical linage can be traced back to Ludwig van Beethoven: Hans Leygraf –
Boon – Schnabel – Leschetizky – Czerny – Beethoven.

Until Ammer's appointment as a senior lecturer of piano at Australia's senior musical academy – the Elder Conservatorium of Music,
at the University of Adelaide – he was a professor at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg in Germany. His chamber music experience
led to the collaboration with some of the finest contemporary musicians, including Wanda Wiłkomirska, Nigel Kennedy, Ronald
Woodcock, Florian Ammer, Gunnars Larson, Friedrich Gauwerky and Janis Laurs.[5][6] As a triopartner, Ammer has performed
almost the entire piano trio repertoire. Ammer and his family left Germany in 1984, and settled in Australia, leading to his special
interest in contemporary Australian music.[7][8]

As a soloist and accompanist, Ammer has played programs with new Australian works in Europe, Asia and Australia, and has
recorded at radio stations in Germany, Switzerland and Australia.[6] Ammer has been performing duets with noted clarinetist Peter
Handsworth across Australia, commencing in 2009, when ABC Classic FM produced a show with Handsworth and Ammer, and in
2010 both premiered new works for clarinet and piano at Bayerischer Rundfunk in Munich.[9][6][10] In 2015, as a part of The
Scriabin Project Concert Series, Ammer joined forces alongside his pupilsMekhla Kumar, Konstantin Shamray and Ashley Hribar to
honour Russian composerAlexander Scriabin, at various venues across Australia.[11][12]

Ammer's notable pupils includeKristian Chong,[13] Konstantin Shamray, Lucinda Collins, Shueh-li Ong[14] and Mekhla Kumar.[15]
