Biography[edit]
Zeltsman was born in 1958 in Morristown, New Jersey.
In 1976, Zeltsman studied with Vic Firth at New England Conservatory of Music. Following her sophomore year (1978), she was a percussion fellow at Tanglewood. She took a sabbatical and returned to NEC in 1980 to continue her studies, graduating with a Bachelor of Music (percussion performance) in 1982. She then studied jazz improvisation with Dave Samuels for several years.
She performed in a duo with violinist Sharan Leventhal in the mid-1980s through to the mid-1990s, and in another duo with Janis Potter after the former duo dissolved. She occasionally performs with Jack Van Geem, and a recording she made with him was released in 1994.
In 1993, she was offered a Chair at the Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music, where she teaches the marimba exclusively. The japaneses marimba players Eriko Daimo and Nanae Mimura stand out among her successful students.
Zeltsman also directs the Zeltsman Marimba Festival (ZMF), an annual traveling festival that brings together students and faculty for two weeks of concerts, masterclasses, lessons, and lectures.
