Meet Our Artistic Director:
Ranaan Meyer
Ranaan Meyer is a GRAMMY-winning, Emmy-winning, and Gold record double bassist — best known as a founding member and performer with the genre-defying string trio Time for Three.
​
As the Artistic Director of Honeywell Arts Academy, Meyer brings his passion for collaboration, mentorship, and creativity to every program and performance.
​
Inspired by his mentor Hal Robinson’s advice to “pay it forward,” Meyer, Robinson, and Eric Larson created a program in 2008 built on three principles:
​
-
Top-level musicianship and character
-
Full scholarships for all participants
-
A “sharing of knowledge” philosophy​
​
“The ‘sharing of knowledge’ approach empowers everyone to learn from one another,” says Meyer, forming a community where mentorship, collaboration, and artistry thrive. Under his leadership, Honeywell Arts Academy continues to cultivate musicians as ambassadors of human connection, transforming talent into opportunity.
