Támar Talks with Daniel Meyer (Music Director Erie Philharmonic)

Támar Talks About Edutainment and More...It's a Music Business 4 a Reason!

I met Daniel Meyer while performing with the Stewart Copeland Orchestra in Erie, PA. From the very first song, his energy gave me chills. To watch a conductor use every morsel of his body into a new body of work, is quite jaw-dropping. As soon as I asked Daniel to be a guest on my podcast, he immediately said yes. And what's crazy? I've always wanted to know how a conductor secures such a niché profession.

As Music Director of the Erie Philharmonic, Artistic Director of the Westmoreland Symphony and Cleveland’s BlueWater Chamber Orchestra, Daniel Meyer has reinvigorated orchestras with his innovative programs, engaging presence and keen musical intellect. Named Music Director of the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra, Meyer took the helm of the historic summer music festival in July 2019.

A native of Cleveland, Meyer studied conducting at the Hochschule für Musik in Vienna as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar, and is a graduate of Denison University and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. He composed and conducted works for ensembles at both schools, including a Stabat Mater for soprano, chorus and orchestra. At Boston University, Meyer received the Orchestral Conducting Honors Award and was awarded the prestigious Aspen Conducting Prize from David Zinman.
