She is an avid fan of clubbing and is a member of three social clubs: the Bee, the Hasty Pudding Social Club and the Signet.

She has also made it a priority to make it to all the important social events of her senior year—flying straight to the Harvard-Yale game after a concert in Pittsburgh and practically sprinting through the Toronto airport in order to make a connection back from her concert in Edmonton to the Senior Soiree.

In order to make time for a social life—and for academics—while flying to concerts all over the world and maintaining her practice schedule, Zakrzewski has had to be the ultimate multi-tasker at Harvard.

A joint music and government concentrator, she has decided to write a thesis in the fall on the recent influx of art centers in the U.S. because she says a broad knowledge of multiple disciplines will help her be a better musician.

“I want to be complete,” Zakrzewski says. “I want to put as much introspective thought into my music as possible.”

While she has been a multi-tasker at Harvard, in the end Zakrzewski knows that music and performance will always be her primary passion.

Beyond her summer in Tanglewood and finishing her thesis in the fall, Zakrzewski says she looks forward to taking advantage of every opportunity to perform post-graduation.

“I just want to be performing on the world’s greatest stages,” she says.
