The Musicians

Renowned for her pure, luminous, rich soprano, persuasive performances, and dramatic

ability, Arianna Zukerman is considered one of the premiere vocal artists of her generation.

Internationally known for her concert and opera performances, Zukerman is also an avid

chamber musician and regularly collaborates with some of today's foremost chamber

players. The Washington Post has praised Zukerman for her "remarkable voice that combines the range, warmth and facility of a Rossini mezzo with shimmering, round high notes 

and exquisite pianissimos that would make any soprano jealous."

Zukerman is the featured soloist on the critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated

2013 Naxos recording of James Whitbourn's oratorio, Annelies — the first major choral 

setting of the Diary of Anne Frank. The Guardian praised Zukerman's performance and

"subdued beauty” on the CD. She sings the work often, including recent performances in

Dallas, Cleveland, and New York's Alice Tully Hall.

Zukerman was born in New York City into a musical family: her father is violinist/

violist/conductor Pinchas Zukerman and her mother, Eugenia Zukerman, is a flutist, writer,

and arts broadcaster. Zukerman's sister Natalia is an accomplished singer and songwriter.

Zukerman is an adjunct professor of voice at the Catholic University of America and gives

master classes throughout the United States. As a past recipient of the Sullivan Foundation 

Award, she was a member of the Bavarian State Opera's Junges Ensemble. She studied

theater at Brown University and received her Bachelor of Music from the Juilliard School.

She resides with her family in the Washington metro area.

Described by Placido Domingo as an "orchestra at the piano" and hailed as a pianist

who "really has it all — fiery technique and a rich, warm tone," Joy Schreier is praised by the 

Washington Post as a "responsive accompanist” and an "ideal support" at the piano. She is

credited as "providing much of the evening's musical nuance," and as being "so noteworthy

that the room seemed to vibrate from her depth and skill.. .the dream accompanist that a

singer hopes to find at some point in one's lifetime.”

Schreier has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, the White House, the 

Kennedy Center, the National Museum for Women in the Arts, the National Portrait Gallery,

the Phillips Collection, the Cosmos Club, Strathmore Hall, the embassies of Austria, Russia,

and Poland, and recital halls throughout the country. Internationally, she has performed in

England, Scotland, Wales, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Schreier has served as assistant conductor at the Washington National Opera and is

the pianist and vocal coach of the Cathedral Choral Society and keyboard artist of the

Washington Bach Consort. She completed her doctorate in accompanying and chamber

music in 2003 at the Eastman School of Music, where she was the recipient of the Barbara

Koeng Award for Excellence in Vocal Accompanying.
