The Oak Ridge Civic Music Association’s final Chamber Series concert of the season will feature world-renowned flutist Eugenia Zukerman at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Pollard Auditorium.

Zukerman has been lauded not only for her playing, but also for her adventurous programming. Here’s what the The Sunday Telegram said: “Few major instrumentalists offer anything comparable to the intelligence and breadth of programming that she brings to her concerts.”

Her guest appearances have included engagements with the Tokyo Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the China Philharmonic, and the Israel, Moscow, Prague, and Scottish chamber orchestras.

Recognized with an Emmy nomination as an important broadcast journalist, Eugenia Zukerman interviewed and created more than 300 portraits as an arts correspondent for the CBS Sunday Morning program. Her interview subjects included Edgar Meyer. [Read more…]

Two talented Tennessee women are playing major roles in the final Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra concert of a season devoted to showcasing Tennessee music, composers, and performers.
