World-renowned flutist plays at St. John Vianney Eugenia Zukerman is one of the world's most acclaimed flut- ists, known for her particular interest in innovative ways of bringing classical music to new audiences as well as in musical education. Together with pianist Milana Strezeva, Zukerman will bring these skills for her Sedona debut Sunday, Oct. 31, in a 2:30 p.m. concert at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, 180 Soldier Pass Road. The concert is sponsored by Barbara and Sheldon Breitbart and Evelyn and Anthony Winkel. The Sunday matinee concert is one that features music written exclusively by women including Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia, Katherine Hoover, Germaine Tailleferre, Clara Schumann, Joan Tower, Sophia Gubaidulina and C6cile Chaminade. "Bert asked us to program a concert by women composers, and we put together a concert we believe tha t offers beauty, style and diversity ranging from the middle .1700s to today. Princess Anna, for example spent most of her time in Berlin where she devoted herself to music, and became known as a musical patron and composer. As a philanthropist and composer, she achieved a modest amount of fame and is most known for her smaller chamber works. This promises to be a lovely program," Strezeva stated. Zukerman has appeared inter- nationally with major orches- tras including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Israel Chamber Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D.C. Her many festival appearances stretch over more than three decades with appearances at the Aspen Music Festival, Music From.Angel Fire, Mostly Mozart, OK Mozart International Festival, Ravinial, Tanglewood, Edinburgh, the South Bank Festival in London, the Spoleto Festival in Italy, the Yehudi Menuhin Gstaad Festival in Switzerland and the Schleswig-Holstein Festival. She was music director of the Vail Valley Music Festival in Colorado from 1998 to 2010. As a journalist Zukerman has contributed articles to The New York Times, The Washington Post, Esquire and Vogue. She has also published two novels, "Deceptive Cadence" [Viking, 1981] and "Taking the Heat" [Simon and Schuster, 1991]. Collaborative pianist Strezeva first performed in Sedona in November 2008 with the Manhattan Piano Trio. A native of Moldova, she received her master's in piano performance from The Juilliard School. The Boston Globe said of her playing, "Milana's solo performance was beautiful and relaxed in a way that we expect from artists who lived with the music for at least half of their lifetime." Strezeva just released a solo album on the Marquis label. Recently honored by Young Concert Artists for a "lifetime of achievement," Zukerman continues to earn praise as "one of the finest flutists of our time," offering virtuosic technique, sensitive phrasing, and fine articulation in expression of her superb musical intelligence. A radiantly elegant figure on the stage, and as gracious and engaging in her commentaries as she is in her interpretations, Zukerman is a perennial favorite as a recitalist and soloist across North America and throughout Europe and Asia. She also is a powerful spokesperson for all the arts and an effective champion of young musicians. Originally an English major at Barnard College; Zukerman transferred to the Juilliard School of Music where from 1964 to 1966 she was a pupil of flutist Julius Baker, soloist with the New York Philharmonic. In 1968, she married the famous violinist Pinchas Zukerman and frequently appeared with him in concert. They have two daugh- ters: Natalia whose music is a cross-genre blend of blues, jazz, bluegrass and folk, and Ariana who is world-renowned classical soprano. A pre-coneert talk will be presented by NAU professor of flute Emily Hoppe McKay from 1 to 1:55 p.m. in the Don Bosco Room immediately before the concert.
