After his passing\, Myers learned she was the fifth woman and last Cantor to be recorded in studio with Cantor Sobol.In 1996\, Myers earned a B.A. in music (voice) from Buffalo State University\, where she was a soprano soloist with the Chamber Ensemble’s central European tour. She continued her education at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, earning a Master of Arts in Teaching Music Education in 1999. \nIt was Cantor Myers’ devotion to her faith and desire to keep Jewish musical traditions alive that led her to study under Cantor Benjamin Maissner in Toronto\, earning her Hazzan (Hebrew for ‘Cantor’) credential from the Cantors Assembly. During the pandemic Cantor Myers began studying for the Rabbinate\, and in 2022 she received Rabbinic Ordination from Mesifta Adas Wolkowisk – Rabbinical Academy of America\, making history in Buffalo as the first and only dually ordained Jewish clergy person in Western New York. \nCantor-Rabbi Myers is married to neurologist Dr. Bennett Myers and has three children: Hunter\, Saul\, and Corrinne. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Maestro’s recent distinctions also include the Bruckner Society’s Julio Kilenyi Medal of Honor for his interpretations of Anton Bruckner’s music\, as well as the Leonard Bernstein Award for the Elevation of Music in Society. In 2011 he was inducted into the American Philosophical Society. \nLeon Botstein combines his conducting career with his work as the President of Bard College\, a position he has held since 1975. He also initiated the creation of the first liberal education department in Russia: the Smolny College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at St. Petersburg State University. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
