Meira Warshauer’s music, performed internationally to critical acclaim, reflects her personal spiritual journey and communicates directly to the heart and soul of the listener.  She has devoted much of her creative output to Jewish themes and their universal message, and her work also reflects a love and respect for the earth.  She has received many awards, and Fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Hambidge Center, and the S. C. Arts Commission. She holds degrees from Harvard, New England Conservatory, and U. of South Carolina, and studied with Mario Davidovsky, Jacob Druckman, William Thomas McKinley, and Gordon Goodwin. A native of Wilmington, NC, she resides in Columbia, SC, and is the Nancy A. Smith Distinguished Visitor at Coastal Carolina University.

"Meira's music... comes from a place which is beyond music. It is like a prayer...from deep within the soul.
It always evokes deep responses from the listeners and is
very moving for me to perform."

Ina-Esther Joost, principal cellist, Jerusalem Symphony
