The Asian Hall of Fame has named the 23 outstanding members of the Asian community who will be its inductees for 2024, and the list includes violinist Anne Akiko Meyers. The 20th Induction Ceremony is set to take place on October 19 at the Biltmore Los Angeles, and it will be streamed live on Roku GAME from 6:00 pm. PST.

A graduate of The Juilliard School, where she studied with Dorothy DeLay, Felix Galimir, and Masao Kawasaki, Meyers is a former recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant.

She received a GRAMMY Award nomination for her live recording with Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic of Arturo Márquez’s Fandango, a concerto for violin and orchestra written for her in 2021, which has already been performed more than 25 times. The recording is the latest of more than 40 releases, which have become staples of classical music radio and streaming platforms.

Meyers routinely commissions new music, and has worked closely with some of the most important composers of the last half century, including Arvo Pärt (Estonian Lullaby), Einojuhani Rautavaara (Fantasia, his final complete work), John Corigliano (cadenzas for the Beethoven Violin Concerto; Lullaby for Natalie), Michael Daugherty (Blue Electra), Mason Bates and Adam Schoenberg (violin concertos), Jakub Ciupiński, Jennifer Higdon, Samuel Jones, Morten Lauridsen, Wynton Marsalis, Akira Miyoshi, Gene Pritsker, Somei Satoh, and Joseph Schwantner.
