Taub, a native of New York City, has studied with some of the world’s greatest flutists including Michel Debost, Samuel Baron, Marcel Moyse and Robert Aitken, according to college officials.

As a longtime faculty member at Cornish College of the Arts and founding member of the Seattle Chamber Players, Taub plays an active role in the Seattle music scene.

He has performed and recorded American and world premieres by internationally known composers including John Cage, George Crumb, Janice Giteck, Sofia Gubaidulina and Wayne Horvitz.

Taub has worked extensively to promote Soviet and Russian composers in America and American composers in the former Soviet Union.

His Soviet repertoire has been featured on NPR’s Performance Today, at the Goodwill Arts Festival, in a solo recital at the Leningrad Musical Spring International Festival and at New York’s Symphony Space.

He has also performed four times in Russia with the Seattle Chamber Players and twice at the Warsaw Autumn Festival in Poland, as well as in China, Costa Rica, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Ukraine.

Schenkman has recorded more than 30 CDs of 17th- and 18th-century repertoire, including recordings on historical instruments from the National Music Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

He received the Erwin Bodky Award from the Cambridge Society for Early Music.

A member of the ensemble Gut Reaction, he has been a featured guest with the Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston, the Daedalus Quartet, the Northwest Sinfonietta, Pacific Baroque Orchestra, Philharmonia Northwest and the Portland Baroque Orchestra.
