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 7, 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.”
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. For more information on the Academy, visit
