Originally from Des Moines, Iowa, violist Adam Meyer is an equally devoted chamber musician, teacher, and arts administrator. As the founding violist of the New York City based Bryant Park Quartet, Adam has performed at venues throughout the country including Lincoln Center’s Paul Recital Hall and the Recital Hall at the Staller Center for the Arts, and has participated in the Chamber Music Workshop at The Perlman Music Program, The Juilliard String Quartet Seminar, and The Mannes Beethoven Institute. The quartet’s strong convictions about the importance of community and school outreach has led them to share their music with thousands of school children in rural Kentucky and Ohio, as well as to develop residencies aimed at introducing chamber music concepts to the string students in multiple school districts on Long Island as well as in Des Moines. In addition to his work with the Bryant Park Quartet, Adam has performed chamber music with such artists as Itzhak Perlman, David Finckel, Ronald Leonard, Merry Peckham, and Rohan DeSilva.
A dedicated teacher, Adam is currently on faculty at the Stony Brook University Pre-College Program, the New York Youth Symphony Chamber Music Program, and is the co-founder of a summer chamber music camp for elementary students in Des Moines.
In addition to his work as a violist, Adam serves as the Dean of Students for The Perlman Music Program. He has previously served the program as Development Manager, raising funds from both government institutions and private foundations, before accepting his current position as Associate Dean for Administration at The Juilliard School.”
Adam holds degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory, and The Juilliard School, and his Doctorate of Music Arts degree from Stony Brook University. His teachers have included Heidi Castleman, Kathy Murdock, Peter Slowik, and Hsin-Yun Huang.
