Ithaca's director of orchestras Jeffery Meyer has been making music around the world this summer: he conducted the final concert of the 2007-8 season with the St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic in Russia, and was the only American to make the final seven contestants (from more than 100 initial competitors) in the Cadaques International Conducting Competition in Spain.
In Minnesota, he taught and performed -- as both pianist and conductor -- at the LSM Academy and Festival.
And in the Philippines, he debuted with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, and taught and performed (again as both pianist and conductor) for two weeks at Opusfest, an international piano chamber music festival.
