Violinist Anne Akiko Meyers recently graced the NPR Tiny Desk stage, showcasing her exceptional talent with her rare and exquisite Guarneri del Gesù "Vieuxtemps" violin. Meyers' performance was described as mesmerizing, making her instrument worth its multi-million-dollar price tag seem secondary to the beauty of her music. Meyers, born in 1970 in San Diego, has had a remarkable career that began with appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson at just 11 years old. She went on to study at Juilliard and has recorded over 40 albums, earning accolades like a Grammy nomination. In addition to being named the top-selling classical instrumentalist in 2014 on Billboard's traditional classical charts, Meyers has also been dubbed "the Wonder Woman of commissioning" by The Strad. Her Tiny Desk concert showcased her exceptional skills and was a testament to her enduring influence in the classical music world, with her recent induction into the 2024 Asian Hall of Fame further solidifying her status as a musical powerhouse.
