Maggie Abraham is a percussionist and composer whose improvisation and composition technique is deeply influenced by listening, observing and interacting with her environmental surroundings. With a deep love of wild places, she has a drive to create music that reflects and engages with the natural world.

 Maggie completed a Bachelor of Music at University of Tasmania in 2015 and Honours in 2017. Maggie spent a year studying percussion at The Institute for Superior Arts in Havana, Cuba in 2012 and returned in 2018 for 6 months to take private lessons.

Maggie primarily plays vibraphone, congas, cajón and batá and has lead and played in wide range of music groups, performing extensively as a solo artist and as a part of various bands.

Through her work as an associated artist with Australia’s leading arts and social justice organisation, Big hART Maggie has developed participatory performance pieces throughout Tasmania and Victoria. In 2019 Maggie was invited alongside song-line carrier and Ngarluma cultural performer Patrick Churnshide and drummer, composer and theatre maker Mark Leahy to spend a week in the town of Janseangpo in South Korea to create a performance work with school students.

With a passion for mentoring and creating positive change, in 2020 Maggie started FFLORA, a music group that creates a space for femme, women and non-binary artists to explore group improvisation connect as a community.
