Wabash, IN – Honeywell Arts Academy will host dedicated musicians from across the world during a series of three live performances in Wabash this June. Tickets for the three performances go on sale Friday, March 22, at 10 a.m. and will be available online at honeywellarts.org or by calling the Honeywell Box Office at 260.563.1102. Honeywell Arts Academy programming is presented by Honeywell Arts & Entertainment.
Honeywell Arts Academy is comprised of three full-scholarship programs for emerging musicians. Led by Artistic Director Ranaan Meyer of the GRAMMY-winning group Time for Three and world-renowned faculty, each week-long program takes place at the Eagles Theatre and culminates in a live performance featuring participants and faculty.
Founded in 2020, the Academy is an expansion of Wabass, a music program established in 2008 for double bassists. The mission of the Academy is to foster an inclusive and supportive environment where ideas are free flowing between all. This creates a revolving door of expertise, a philosophy the Academy refers to as the "sharing of knowledge."
Artistic Director of Honeywell Arts Academy, Ranaan Meyer, states, “Honeywell Arts Academy is committed to inspiring people to keep the listening valve turned on. Using music to unite people sparks conversation and connection among these unbelievably talented musicians. The Academy continues to see record-breaking audience attendance each year, which has increased the reach of these promising musicians.”
The Academy is designed to provide the future generation of musicians the opportunity to learn from one another, push boundaries, and connect with both local and industry communities, with world-renowned faculty to propel their artistry forward and springboard their careers.
