In today’s episode, we chat with Maria Zouves, a Greek-American soprano, educator, director, producer, and current Escoffier student pursuing a degree in Holistic Nutrition & Wellness.

As President of the Sherrill Milnes VOICE Programs, which she co-founded with her husband, legendary baritone Sherrill Milnes, Maria has spent over 25 years nurturing artists and building new audiences for classical music. She has directed operas across the U.S. and Europe, including productions at the Estates Theatre in Prague and Opera Tampa. A celebrated performer, Maria made her Carnegie Hall debut in 1997 and is now preparing for a return to Don’t Tell Mama Cabaret Theatre in New York City to promote her upcoming classical cabaret album, Everything.

Join us as Maria shares her inspiring journey from opera to culinary school, delves into the deep connection between food and the arts, and discusses how she’s inspiring others to live with intention and purpose.
