We are delighted to welcome internationally renowned flutist Eugenia Zukerman as the Guest Speaker for our May Meeting. In her words: “I think I’d like to call the talk A Patchwork Life so I can talk about all the various things I’ve been fortunate to be able to do. I will bring my flute, and play a few pieces for solo flute.”

A true ‘Renaissance woman’, Miss Zukerman maintains an international concert calendar, while pursuing a multi-faceted career that includes distinguished work as an arts administrator, author, educator, internet entrepreneur, and journalist.

In demand from New York to China as an orchestral soloist, chamber musician and recitalist, Miss Zuckerman has enjoyed musical collaborations with such luminaries as Emmanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma and James Galway. As soloist, she has performed with many of the world’s finest orchestras, including the Royal Philharmonic, Tokyo, China and Los Angeles Philharmonics and the National Symphony in Washington DC.

A creative and dynamic administrator, Miss Zukerman spent thirteen years as Artistic Director of the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival, which developed an international profile through annual residencies of the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Yo-Yo Ma and Lang-Lang.

Recognized with an Emmy nomination as an important broadcast journalist, Miss Zukerman was an Arts Correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning, where her interview subjects included James Levine, Seiji Ozawa, Dame Maggie Smith, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Daniel Barenboim and Isaac Stern. She has also appeared on NBC’s Today Show, CBS’s Morning Show, The Charlie Rose Show and numerous PBS specials.

She founded ClassicalGenie, an internet company that provides video content to music schools, artists, managers, and orchestras for use on their websites. She is the author of several books, including New York Public Library’s Award-winning non-fiction book In My Mother’s Closet, and two novels, Deceptive Cadence and Taking The Heat.

Miss Zukerman supports causes such as Classical Action; Performing Arts against AIDS. She is a Young Concert Artists Award-winning flutist, and received their Lifetime Honor Award in 2006.  Other awards include a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Open University of Israel in NYC, a Woman of Achievement Award from the National Hadassah Organization, and the Exceptional Achievement Award from The Women’s Project.

She received a B.M. from The Juilliard School and an Honorary Doctorate from Knox College in Illinois, and is an adjunct faculty member at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Music.

A Massachusetts native, Miss Zukerman makes her home in New York City and in upstate New York.
