Flutist Anthony Trionfo, fresh out of graduate school, wants to be a star soloist and he seems to be off to a fine start. His first recital since the Covid lockdown is for Clarion Concerts and will be streamed starting on Saturday evening. Clarion is a well established though modest local series, but its artistic director is the internationally acclaimed flutist Eugenia Zukerman. If a flute player receives a booking through Zukerman, then they’ve got to be great.
More than just giving her imprimatur, Zukerman also provided the Times Union with this statement: “I believe Anthony Trionfo is one of the best flutists of all time. He is only 24-years old but performs like a master! He is a phenomenal musician.”

Violinist Natalie Boberg was a student at New England Conservatory for just a semester and a half when campus closed and she was sent home to Sierra Madre, Calif. But now, back in Boston and living in a shared apartment with a view of the Symphony Hall sign, she has settled into a routine. Zoom yoga and coffee, first thing in the morning. Then another hour of Zoom as she teaches a gaggle of second graders the basics of viola. From there, itâs straight into a three-hour block of virtual academic classes.
DOVER – After surviving a double lung transplant, a Dover woman now needs to find a donor for a kidney transplant.
Paula Roberge, praised by friends and family for always being positive, said her kidney was damaged from the medications she was prescribed following the lung transplants.
“I thought, after the double lung transplant, that I’d be home free,” said Roberge. “I asked about a new kidney, wouldn’t the anti-rejection medications I take affect a new kidney? Apparently, it is just my kidney that has the problem, so if I get a transplant, it should not happen again.”
Roberge, 71, did not bring her plight to the attention of news reporters. That was her best friend and neighbor, retired nurse practitioner Gail Dickson.
