Cynthia Meyers joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra as piccolo in fall 2006; she occupies the Evelyn and C. Charles Marran Chair at the BSO. Meyers joins the New England Conservatory flute faculty in fall 2014.
Before coming to Boston, Meyers served as the principal piccolo of the Houston Symphony for nine years under the direction of both Christoph Eshenbach and Hans Graf. She is the former principal flutist of the Omaha Symphony, a post that she held for nine seasons. During her tenure in Omaha, she had been a featured soloist with the orchestra on numerous occasions.
A native of Somerset, Pennsylvania, Meyers began playing the piano at age 3. While in Cleveland, she became interested in playing the piccolo and continued to study solely that instrument with William Hebert of the Cleveland Orchestra.
