Biography
[edit]Abeberry was born in Biarritz on 25 April 1930.[2] He was the son of baker Jean Abeberry and teacher Ernestine Etcheverry.[3] He had four brothers: Albert, Pierre, Maurice, and Jean-Claude.[4] At the age of 16, he became a singer and dancer with Oldarra, of which he became artistic director in 1953 and president in 1973. He became director of the weekly newspaper Enbata,[5] of which he had been an editorialist since 1968.[6] He was honorary president of "Biarritz autrement – Biarritz Bestelakoa", which he co-founded in 1989.[7]
In 1983, Abeberry was elected to the municipal council of Biarritz, where he remained until 30 March 2014.[8] In 1991, he became second deputy mayor, giving him the responsibility of promoting culture in Biarritz. He founded the dance festival Le Temps d'Aimer, which paved the way for a national choreographic center in 1998,[7] known today as the Malandain Ballet Biarritz.[9] He partnered with the Académie André-Marchal to create the Concours international d'orgue de la ville de Biarritz in 1993. That year, he also promoted the Orchestre d'harmonie de Biarritz.[10]
