was accompanied by a pianist


Explanation:
A não ser que haja dois cantores, acho mais natural dizer "the singer was accompanied by a pianist" ou talvez "the singer performed a duet with a pianist". Dois cantores cantariam "in duo". Naturalmente, a minha sugestão somente dá certo se for claro (no contexto) que o artista é cantor.
