Eugenia Zukerman is rightfully called a Renaissance woman. As a distinguished flutist, the New York Times has noted that "her musicianship is consummate, her taste immaculate and her stage presence a sheer pleasure," and her career spans performances as soloist with orchestras that include the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Minnesota Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra Washington, D.
In addition to these pursuits, she is an effective and adventurous arts administrator whose career includes thirteen years at the helm of the illustrious Bravo! Vail festival, where she made innovative changes such as bringing in major symphony orchestras — including the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra — for residencies along with renowned soloists like Yo-Yo Ma and Jean-Yves Thibaudet.
Shortly after the advent of the internet, she founded ClassicalGenie, which provides video content to the classical music industry for use on their websites, and she has developed many vlogs for the Musical America website. She has also taught at New York University and The Hartt School and given master classes at conservatories throughout the world. Zukerman is a beautiful, elegant, gracious and thoughtful person — whom I have long admired — and it has been my honor to know her for many years and to have performed with her at summer music festivals.
We met most recently while she was still Artistic Director of the Bravo! Vail festival, where I played several chamber music concerts. A few years ago, she began to struggle with memory issues and was ultimately diagnosed as having cognitive decline, which has also affected several maternal relatives. Her most recent book, Like Falling Through a Cloud , was published in November and relates her struggles and fears — and great courage — in adapting to a new reality and is ultimately an inspiring testament to her estimable inner strength.
How did you become involved in these pursuits? I ran home and asked my parents if I could take flute lessons. Very musical themselves, they were delighted to find me a teacher. Carl Bergner of the Hartford Symphony became my teacher and I loved my lessons with him.
Eugenia Zukerman. I was also so fortunate to have been chosen [in ] to be the Artistic Director of the Bravo! Vail Music Festival, which I was for thirteen years. As a young mother, juggling all of these things was complicated, but I think that all of these endeavors helped me to grow as a musician and writer and organizer. You have written two novels as well as creating groundbreaking video blogs for arts organizations.
