given critically acclaimed recitals at such venues as Weill Recital
Hall and Town Hall Theater in New York; the Wilshire Ebell theater

Performance Center in Boston. She has also been a soloist and
premiered new works with the National Academy of Music orchestra in
Bulgaria, The Ensemble for Contemporary Music at the Royal College
of Music in London, Quincy Symphony Orchestra in Boston.
New York Concert Review
writes about her performance: "[A Selection of Children’s Songs]
… had a winning immediacy and eloquent simplicity that were enhanced
by Ms Zakarian’s direct and subtle artistry; by her superb rhythm;
and by her ability to phrase and to color." Ms. Zakarian holds
degrees with honors in Percussion and Marimba Performance from The
Royal College of Music in London and The Boston Conservatory. At the
Royal College of Music, Ms. Zakarian was awarded the ARCO
scholarship given to a solo performer by The Good Offices of His
Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales. She also played in a number of
prestigious venues including The Royal Overseas League and The
Chelsea Festival. She made her British radio debut on the BBC’s
"Classic FM", and a year later performed a recital on BBC Radio 3’s
"Young Artist’s Forum". Ms. Zakarian has worked closely with
contemporary composers who have written new music for percussion and
solo marimba and has given world premier performances.
Ms. Zakarian has held
Master classes and workshops for young musicians at the Purcell
School of Music, Royal College of Music, and Berkshire Young
Musician’s Trust in the UK. Also, she has led music clinics in her
native country of Bulgaria with the State Conservatory and the Varna
Summer Music Festival. Currently, Ms. Zakarian is on the faculties
of the Winchester Community Music School, and Longy School of Music
as well as an affiliate at the Office for the Arts at Harvard
University.
