Zukerman is an internationally renowned recitalist and soloist. Her 2010-2011 season includes appearances as a flutist, writer, artistic director, television/web journalist and educator. She is joined by  Manhattan Piano Trio pianist, Milana Strezeva, in a program of music by women composers.

"Eugenia Zukerman is an international triple-threat. She is a published novelist, a television comentator, and, most impressively, one of the finest flutists of our time." "Milana's performance was beautiful and relaxed in a way that we expect from artists who have lived with the music for at least half their lifetime."..Boston Globe

Recently honored by Young Concert Artists for a "lifetime of achievement," flutist Eugenia 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, Ms. 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. As Artistic Director of the Vail Valley Music Festival since 1998, she has been responsible for its exponential artistic growth and its entry into the international spotlight. Today, the festival hosts residencies of the New York Philharmonic and the orchestras of Dallas and Rochester as well as world-renowned solo and chamber music artists.

 

Milana Strezeva made her Sedona debut November 2008 with the Manhattan Piano Trio. Among her many impressive achievements, she is a 1996 Arts Recognition and Talent Search Awardee. Ms. Strezeva is also winner of the Yamaha Piano Competition and Young Artist Competition (FL) as well as IBLA International Competition (Italy).In her senior year, she applied to and was accepted at The Julliard School on full scholarship, where she completed her Masters in Piano Performance. Throughout this time, she continued playing an active role in the family trio, however, a few years after graduating, her father, Anatoli passed away, and the family ensemble, now consisting of Milana and her mother, Svetlana, was renamed "Duo Lana". The duo has performed to great acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. Today Milana continues to accompany Svetlana when her schedule permits. In addition, over the years she has accompanied many other singers, as well as instrumentalists, also to great acclaim.
