Strike, a piano-percussion duo with pianist Jeffery Meyer, who conducts the IC Orchestras, and Paul Vaillancourt, recently released a CD entitled "Convergence."  The CD represents a three year collaboration with five composers; all works were written or arranged for the duo.  During January, the duo did a midwest CD-release tour which included concerts in Chicago, Northern Illinois University, Luther College and the University of Iowa's Center for New Music.

Meyer also spent two weeks in Russia in December, recording an album with soprano Julia Kogan and the St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic of new works for soprano and chamber orchestra.  This CD will be released later this year on Rideau Records, distributed by Harmonia Mundi.
