 | 2011 JUDY DRUCKER
Miami’s Impresaria
Presented by Charlie Cinnamon |  | | Acknowledging her more than 40 years as South Florida’s peerless presenter of classical music and dance, Judy Drucker, internationally famed impresaria and friend to scores of the world’s most honored musical artists is currently busy re-launching her long-time Concert Association of Florida, which will be presenting a mix of four classical and dance events to be held at both the Fillmore Miami Beach and the New World Center.
Drucker is universally regarded as among the nation’s most driving forces in capturing the world’s greatest symphony orchestras, opera singers and dance companies for presentation to both Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Along the way of the more than 40 years since she began a series at Miami Beach’s Temple Beth Sholom, Drucker created long-time friendships with such classical icons as Artur Rubenstein, Itzhak Perlman, Isaac Stern, Pavarotti, Beverly Sills, Joan Sutherand, Renee Fleming, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Pinchas Zukerman. | |
