Perfect Pitch: After the Curtain Falls

It is quite meaningful when an artist is willing to open up to a journalist about personal matters they endure long after the curtains close. I met soprano Arianna Zukerman early in my journey to becoming a classical music journalist. Hailing from a world-class musical family, she is the daughter of famed violinist Pinchas Zukerman and flautist and news personality Eugenia Zukerman. The last time we chatted, she was ecstatic about being featured on the Grammy-nominated recording of “Annelies” and performing the New York city premiere of the very work. We never imagined that we would be chatting with the soprano a few years later about tragedy. Recently, we sat down with Zukerman and heard about her cancer diagnosis, returning to the stage and the importance of family.
