With a rapidly expanding repertoire encompassing a wide variety of symphonic works and nearly 60 operas, TIMOTHY MYERS has proven himself as an important young American conductor. Of his Jerusalem Symphony debut with an all-Scandinavian program the Jerusalem Post said: “… the music of the Northern Lights concert filled the concert hall with waves of resounding strength, almost of triumph. When the last notes had faded, the audience rose in a standing ovation that lasted long after the conductor’s final bow.”

Myers’ future engagements include the Atlanta and North Carolina Symphony orchestras, the Macedonian Philharmonic, the Fort Worth and Anchorage operas, Opera Co. of North Carolina and Opera Africa.  Myers also continues his close relationship with renowned conductor Lorin Maazel through engagements at the 2010 Castleton Festival, as well as the Palau de les Arts (Valencia), Beijing NCPA, and Guangzhou Opera House.

In May 2008 Myers was appointed Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the Opera Company of North Carolina, making him one of the youngest artistic leaders in American opera. During his first season Myers made a notable impact in Raleigh by bolstering the artistic vision of the company, engineering new collaborations, and expanding the audience.

In addition to his assistant/associate engagements with the New York Philharmonic, New York City Opera, and London BBC Symphony, Myers has recently made debuts with the Jerusalem, American and Palm Beach symphonies, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, and the opera companies of Wolf Trap, Palm Beach, Anchorage, and Asheville.

Myers’ previous posts include associate conductor of the Palm Beach and Central City operas, principal guest conductor and artistic advisor of the Palm Beach Symphony, and assistant conductor of the American Symphony Orchestra and Orlando Philharmonic.

During his tenure at the Palm Beach Opera Mo. Myers oversaw a tour performing for more than 50,000 students per season and inaugurated the main stage Family Opera series. While associate conductor in Central City, he conducted sold out student performances of six operas. In 2002, at the invitation of Marilyn Horne, Timothy was a faculty member at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA.
