Born in Caracas, Venezuela to famous harpsichordist Abraham Abreu and Janet Foxton, Abreu holds the Performer's and Teacher's Diplomas from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, and a master's degree from Indiana University in Bloomington.
His teachers have included Ricardo Kanji, Michael Barker, and Scott Martin Kosofsky.
He has appeared as a concerto soloist and chamber musician with both modern and historical instruments, with many orchestras throughout the United States.
Abreu has also explored the rich, but rarely heard, music by Latin American composers of the Baroque and Contemporary periods.
He is a frequent guest of the American Bach Soloists in California, both on stage and in their recordings for the Koch International label.
