Survival Kit

  • Eugenia Zuckerman

    Eugenia Zuckerman has excelled in so many different fields of endeavor her friends have dubbed her “Superwoman”; not only is she a celebrated flutist with dozens of recordings, she’s also the arts correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning, the artistic director of the Vail Valley Music Festival, and she’s published both novels and non-fiction. I get the feeling that if we send her out to the wilderness not only will she organize the caribou and elk into a world-class orchestra, she’ll probably also discover a cure for cancer among the native plants in her spare time. Let's see what’s in her Survival Kit.

Her list:

1. My flute
2. A boxed set of CDs:
Bach: The Goldberg Variations (Glenn Gould)
The Beatles: Revolver
Natalia Zukerman: Mortal Child
Arianna Zukerman: Songs for Soprano
3. The Norton Anthology of Poetry (latest edition)
4. Video: The Story of Painting, with Sister Wendy- complete set (inc. The Story of Painting, Pains of Glass, Odyssey, and Grand Tour)
5. A puppy
6. My computer
7. A treadmill
8. David Seltzer (husband)
