Meira Warshauer’s music, performed internationally to critical acclaim, communicates directly to the heart and soul of the listener.  She has received awards from ASCAP, Meet the Composer, the American Music Center, International Alliance for Women in Music, and the Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina, and Artist Fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Hambidge Center, and the S.C. Arts Commission. A graduate of Harvard, New England Conservatory of Music, and the University of South Carolina, Warshauer studied composition with Mario Davidovsky, Jacob Druckman, William Thomas McKinley, and Gordon Goodwin.  She is a Visiting Lecturer at Columbia College, Columbia, SC, where she teaches “The Healing Art of Music.”

"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
