The academy will honor the contributions of Abe who successfully guided the development and manufacture of the first five-octave marimbas and who continually brings marimba music around the world to audiences of standing ovation. Academy participants will gain specific insights into Abe's unique compositions for the solo marimba and ensemble repertoire, as well as a broad perspective about the marimba that includes practical information concerning technique and performance.
