Berenika Zakrzewski '05 Pianist, arts administration concert pianist, government joint concentrator Music concentrator because: I am a concert pianist and the music deparment at Harvard offered me the capacity to grow as a musician and scholar. I also joined my music concentration with Government, as I wanted to see my place as an artist and musician in a context beyond myself. Current job: In addition to performing, I have added another element to my career path. I have the unique position of both Artistic and Executive Director of an orchesra I founded in Orange County, CA: the Dana Point Symphony. I curate innovative programs for the orchestra as well as manage the organization. I am also a consultant to cities and non-profits, helping from both the artistic and management prespective. The way music fits into that: Music is a great connector of people and it functions as a conduit for social and economic progress in various fields. Music as it relates to people's lives is a powerful tool for transformation and innovation. Berenika's website BACK TO UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES
