New Zoellner executive director brings
20 years of international experience
&
Eva Bornstein, who has an
international reputation as a
skilled producer and performing
arts administrator, has been
named executive director of the
Zoellner Arts Center.
Bornstein, who has more than 20 years of
experience in arts management, most recently as
the director of the Greenwich Choral Arts Society
and previously the executive
director of the Fairfield Orches
tra in Connecticut, will begin
her duties on May 1. The
announcement was made by
Interim President William
Hittinger, to whom she will
report.
"Lehigh has a strong international reputation, and I'm
looking forward to working
with its hard-working and dedicated faculty and
students," Bornstein said. "I am excited to have
the opportunity to showcase professionally the
finest international talent in such a magnificent
facility.
"We have an opportunity to be a partner and
work cooperatively with existing organizations to
enhance the arts in the Lehigh Valley and truly

serve as a creative arts,
educational resource and
center."
Deborah Sacarakis,
who had been serving as
director of Zoellner for its preview and inaugural seasons, will assume responsibilities as
director of programming and outreach for the
center. She will work with Bornstein to bring
world-class performances to the community.
"During my 20 years at Lehigh, I have most
enjoyed working with students, faculty and
members of the community to organize cultural
events and bring outstanding performers to
campus," said Sacarakis. "Now I'll be able to
focus my energies on doing what I love the
most."
"The opening of Zoellner has enriched the
campus and community cultural life greatly,"
said Hittinger. "On behalf of the university I
would like to express our gratitude to Deborah
Sacarakis for all her hard work to help get the
Center up and running. Eva will continue to
build on that strong foundation of our inaugural season, bringing a wealth of international
experience in arts management, marketing and
fund raising that will help Zoellner reach its
full potential."
Bornstein joined the Fairfield Orchestra —
a full symphonic, chamber and period orchestra — as executive director in 1992. She was
responsible for all areas of operation including
financial, fundraising, public relations,
marketing and staff supervision of two orchestras.
During her five-year tenure, Bernstein
helped increase subscription sales by 400
percent, expand the performance season and
bring in international soloists, and raise the
level of performance which resulted in the
orchestra's debut this past season at Carnegie
Hall.
Previously, Bornstein served with the
University of Western Ontario for 12 years as
program director of its performing arts series
and as cultural events coordinator. She
worked with faculty and students to organize
more than 500 cultural events per year
including several series of campus concerts
and performances by guest artists.
Bornstein also served four years as the
executive director of the historic Woodstock
Opera House, a nationally renowned theater
near Chicago, and founded its performing arts
series. She also founded the first Canadian
Mozart festival in London, Ontario, in 1985
and the Woodstock Mozart Festival in Illinois
in 1987.
A native of Poland, Bornstein is fluent in
Polish and English, and also speaks German,
Russian and French. She has a bachelor's
degree from York University in Toronto.
