WHO ARE WE?
It all started as a small group of friends coming together and seeking support among fellow music students. We know how challenging it is to succeed in today’s world as a marimba player, and we want to help.
We are musicians, students, teachers, and working professionals. Each staff member is different in many ways, but we are all the same when it comes to our purpose: to inspire our marimba community.
WHY DO WE DO THIS?
We love the marimba and believe the instrument deserves more recognition among the general public. We also recognize the lack of accessible resources for marimba students and aspiring artists.
Most aspiring marimba players, however, don’t have many opportunities to grow professionally and connect with working marimba artists.
Our team seeks to bridge the gap by providing professional support to students and artists through our International Artist Competition, and concert series. By inspiring and supporting marimba artists, we hope to share the beautiful warmth of the marimba to more and more people.
