Please note that this concert, originally set for March 6, has been rescheduled to March 11 at 3:00.
Classical guitarist Ken Meyer performs music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Natalie Draper, Emilia Giuliani-Gugliemi, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Jana Obrovská.
The Washington Post refers to Kenneth Meyer as, “A thinking man’s guitarist – he focuses on the inner structure of a piece…and plays with impressive gravity and power.” The Buffalo News has called him, “Impeccably articulate with superb technique.”
In addition to winning the national top prize at the MTNA Collegiate Artist Competition, Meyer’s commitment to the music of his generation’s leading composers has garnered awards from the Barlow Endowment, Argosy Foundation, and Hanson Institute for American Music. Recent accomplishments include performances in Weill Hall, Zankel Hall, and Yankee Stadium with solo recitals in Romania, Hungary, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. He has also appeared as soloist with the Niagara Symphony Orchestra, Symphoria, Erie Chamber Orchestra, and the Seattle Modern Orchestra in a premiere recording of Andrew Waggoner’s Concerto for Guitar recently released on Bridge records.
Ken directs the guitar studies programs at Syracuse University and Onondaga Community College. He continues to be a featured lecturer, performer, adjudicator and teacher at festivals, colleges and universities throughout this country and abroad. He holds the Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Eastman School of Music and has released recordings with Innova, Albany, Summit, and Bridge Records. His new recording of song cycle premieres for voice and guitar will be released on the Frameworks label later this season.
