Career

Meyer’s latest work Klangbiotoper (2018) made her the recipient of Edvardprisen.[2]

Working across various genres, Meyer’s soundscapes bear traces of throat singing, opera, and contemporary music as well as folk music. Meyer tours throughout the world, most notably in Eastern Europe. She is a regular vocal soloist for the Warszawa based World Orchestra lead by Grzech Piotriowski.[3]

Her work is often anchored in literature. Norwegian greats such as Henrik Ibsen, Tarjei Vesaas and Jon Fosse are sources of inspiration in Meyer’s music.[4]

Meyer is also a voice teacher and lecturer, holding a position as lector at the Akademi for scenekunst/ NTA Høgskolen,Østfold, and as teacher at the Ole Bull Academy.

She was educated at the Grieg Academy in Bergen, and at the Mozarteum– Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Salzburg, Austria.

Meyer began her career at Det norske solistkor.
