Eugenia Zukerman
Eugenia Zukerman is a violin soloist and chamber musician, who for 13 years was the artistic director of the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival. Prior to her tenure with the festival, Zukerman interviewed and created more than 300 portraits as the Arts Correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning, for which she received an Emmy nomination for broadcast journalism. Zukerman has performed as soloist with many of the world's finest orchestras, including the Tokyo Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the China Philharmonic, and the Israel, Moscow, Prague, and Scottish Chamber Orchestras. The breadth of her appearances in North America include engagements with more than 80 orchestras nationwide, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony in Washington, DC, the Montreal and Vancouver Symphonies, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico. Performances and a recording of Lowell Liebermann's Concerto for Flute and Orchestra Op.39 with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andrew Litton (Delos) led to a rewarding connection between Zukerman and the orchestra.
Zukerman has more than two dozen recordings to her credit, including releases on the Delos, SONY Classical, Pro Arte, Vox Cum Laude and Newport Classic labels. Her most recent recording, Flesh & Stone: The Songs of Jake Heggie was released on the Americus label with all proceeds benefitting Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS.
