Join Jill Pasternak as she welcomes Anne Akiko Meyers to Crossover. Meyers is celebrated today as one of the world's premiere concert violinists. She recently launched Smile, a much-anticipated new album with pianist, Akira Eguchi. It features special arrangements of works including "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," Charlie Chaplin's "Smile," and Astor Piazzolla's "Tangos."

A renowned soloist, chamber musician, recording artist, and educator with a quest for experimentation and open dialogue, Meyers performs throughout the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe, and has reached wider audiences by premiering new works written for her and music that's rarely heard.
