Sucre’s experience includes extensive chamber music concerts, lectures, school demonstrations, CD recordings, and television performances throughout South, Central, and North America. He spends most of his summers in South America looking for new works of chamber music by modern composers and encouraging composers to write new pieces, especially piano quartets. He enjoys performing with ensembles of diverse instrumentation.

He has held positions with the Phoenix Symphony, Louisville Orchestra, and Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, and continues to perform as principal horn in the Arizona Opera Orchestra.

An avid chamber musician, he has participated in the Phoenix Chamber Music Society’s annual festival, Albuquerque’s Church of Beethoven (now Chatter) series, and the University of Chicago’s Noontime Recital Series.

Erb earned his bachelor’s degree at Northwestern University and his master’s degree at the University of Akron. After leaving school, he was a member of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago for two seasons and attended the Banff Centre Chamber Music program with his woodwind quintet, Hara Quintet. Peter lives in Albuquerque with his wife Emily, a clarinetist with the Santa Fe Symphony.

Born in Wroclaw, Poland, he began his musical studies at the age of six. In 1977 he received his master's degree with honors from the Academy of Music in Wroclaw. After participating in the 1978 Carl Flesch International Violin Competition, he continued his studies at the Morley College of Music in London. Having been concertmaster of the State Opera Orchestra in Wroclaw, Zimowski joined the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra in 1981. In 1985 he was appointed concertmaster of that orchestra and toured Europe, South America, and the United States. He moved to New Mexico in 1986 to help form the Helios String Quartet, the ensemble-in-residence of the Placitas Artists Series until 1997. Zimowski lives in Albuquerque with his wife, Urszula, also a musician.

He frequently performs with Chatter on both violin and viola. In the winter and spring of 2012, he played concerts with the Figueroa Project and Opera Southwest.

Joan Zucker
Joan Zucker, principal cellist of the New Mexico Philharmonic, has been a major player in the New Mexico music scene for the past 30 years. She was principal cellist of the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra from 1987 to 2010, and has played with many of New Mexico's finest ensembles, from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and Opera, to Pro Musica and Chatter. She has performed as concerto soloist and recitalist, and in numerous chamber groups and orchestras in the United States and Venezuela. She was a member of the Filarmonica de Caracas and soloist and principal cellist with the Filarmonica de Merida. Her frequent televised performances with Cuarteto Internacional met with high critical acclaim.

A jazz cellist for a short time, and currently with the non-classical group Shepherd Moon, Zucker is a versatile musician who has taught extensively (cello, recorder, piano, voice, orchestra, chamber music, theory, composition and improvisation) both privately and at various institutions, including the University of California Santa Cruz, Ithaca College, and the University of New Mexico. She has recently started a business, “Cello to Go,” giving intimate, informal house concerts of eclectic music she has arranged for solo cello, followed by mini cello lessons for those brave enough to try her 230 year old Banks cello. A native New Yorker, she holds music degrees from Bennington College and Ithaca College.
