The Magnificent Meyers

CAMA – Community Arts Music Association – hosted its latest Masterseries concert at the Lobero when violinist Anne Akiko Meyers showed off her undoubted talents.

The hugely entertaining program, with Grammy nominee Meyers, 54, playing her 1741 “ex-Vieuxtemps” Guarneri del Gesu, included Corelli’s “La Folia Sonata,” Beethoven’s “Sonata No. 5 in F Major ‘Spring,’” Lauridsen’s “Sure on this Shining Night,” and “Dirait-on.”

Minimalist music icon Philip Glass’ “New Chaconne” and Arturo Márquez’s “Danzon No. 2” completed the program with Italian pianist Fabio Bidini accompanying Meyers, who appeared twice on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson at the age of 11 and with the New York Philharmonic at the age of 12.

She has also appeared at the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center.

An extraordinary musician…
