He served as the Music Director of the Greeley Philharmonic between 1970-2007, shaping generations of musicians and audiences in the Northern Colorado region. The Skinner Music Library at UNC is named in his honor.
Howard Skinner is the 2019 recipient of the Greeley Arts Legacy Hall Of Fame Award for Music.

He concertized across Europe, United States, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Hong Kong, and Macau, and his performances were broadcast in the USA, Canada, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, and Poland. Mr. Żukiewicz consistently receives critical acclaim, while his innovative programming - focused on exploring connections between the popular and the lesser known gems of the traditional and contemporary repertoire - continues to engage and inspire audiences around the world.
Mr. Żukiewicz is an Associate Professor of Piano at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado. He served as a Resident Faculty Pianist at the International Music Festival of the Adriatic in Duino (Italy), and is a founder and Artistic Director of the Intercollegiate Piano Competition of the West.

His students studied in renowned institutions such as Indiana University, Royal College of Music, and Eastman School of Music, and their successes include festival and competition awards in Canada, Italy, Singapore, and USA.
The Beethoven Camerata is a professional chamber orchestra comprised entirely of classical musicians from the Northern Colorado region. It is the resident ensemble of the Beethoven in the Rockies Concert Series. The ensemble made its debut in the fall of 2024 in a stunning concert featuring works by Beethoven and Schumann, led by Concertmaster Jubal Fulks and featuring cellist Gal Faganel. The Camerata returns for two concerts in the 25-26 season – the first featuring Maestro Howard Skinner and pianist Adam Żukiewicz; the second featuring clarinetist Lauren Jacobson.
