Currently Associate Professor of Collaborative Piano and Chamber Music at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX, Bukhman established a local chapter for Music for Food—an international community outreach program. In 2022 he participated in the opening concerts of the Van Cliburn Concert Hall at TCU, performing Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time. Prior to his appointment to TCU, Bukhman served on the staff and pre-college faculty of the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA, to which he returned this summer as a faculty member at Morningside Music Bridge International Festival. Also in the summer of 2022, Bukhman was appointed as Collaborative Arts Chair for the Texas Music Teachers Association, a three-year term. In 2017, he served as Guest Artist-in-Residence at the Oberlin Conservatory, where he was invited back in 2020 to participate in the Beethoven 250th anniversary celebration. Having recorded the complete 24 Preludes and Fugues by Shostakovich, Bukhman was the first to receive a BM with Honors in Piano Performance from the Oberlin Conservatory under the tutelage of Robert Shannon and earned his MM and DMA degrees from the Juilliard School as a student of Robert McDonald.
