Jeffery Meyer

Jeffery Meyer serves as Professor of Music in Orchestral Conducting and Cochair of the Department of Orchestral Conducting at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music since 2023. He concurrently holds the position of Artistic Partner with the Northwest Sinfonietta.

His research focuses on transformative orchestral experiences through:

• Fusing classical tradition with contemporary cultural dialogue
• Developing multimedia frameworks for works like Stravinsky's Rite of Spring
• Championing social justice themes via collaborations with Daniel Bernard Roumain
• Expanding cross-cultural programming across Asia, Europe, and the Americas

Recent artistic output demonstrates evolving interdisciplinary trends blending urban artistry, theatrical elements, and civic engagement within orchestral contexts, particularly through projects with the American Composers Orchestra’s EarShot program and international ensembles.

His accolades include:

• Multiple ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming
• Vytautas Marijosius Memorial Awards in Orchestral Programming

Meyer's mentorship philosophy emphasizes civic leadership in cultural ecosystems, extending beyond technical conducting to philosophical frameworks for modern musicians. His global masterclasses—from Beijing's Central Conservatory to St. Petersburg's Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory—demonstrate institutional reach across educational platforms.

Current artistic laboratories include collaborations with the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, Grossman Ensemble, and Jacobs School Ballet Department for integrated multimedia productions.
