FLUTIST EUGENIA ZUKERMAN TO DELIVER THOMPSON LECTURE

Lincoln (Neb.) - Oct. 13, 1999 - Described as an extraordinary flutist whose "sheer magic" gifts of communication extend to other media, Eugenia Zukerman will be the next speaker in the 1999-2000 E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

A successful author and television commentator, Zukerman will deliver "Arts at the Millennium," beginning at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Lied Center for Performing Arts, 301 N. 12th St. Her lecture is free and open to the public and is available live via satellite at sites throughout the state, including state colleges, community colleges, high schools and College Park at Grand Island.

Some of Zukerman's major orchestral appearances have been with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, National Symphony, English Chamber Orchestra, Israel Chamber Orchestra and Royal Philharmonic. A prolific recording artist, she has recorded on CBS Masterworks, Pro Arte and Vox Cum Laude labels.

Since 1980, she has been the arts correspondent for "CBS Sunday Morning" and is also a guest on many other television programs. She has written several screenplays and two acclaimed novels, "Deceptive Cadence" and "Taking the Heat." Zukerman also co-authored "Coping with Prednisone" with her sister, Dr. Julie Ingelfinger, detailing her necessary, but risky, encounter with this powerful steroid once she developed a rare lung disease. Together they devised a remedy to relieve the side-effects of such drugs, which are taken by more than 1 million Americans yearly.
