Multi-award-winning pianist, composer and producer Keenan Meyer brings together some of South Africa’s most celebrated musicians for a powerful collective offering inspired by Victor Ntoni’s seminal composition, 'Where Are The Children Now?' (2004).
This special Youth Day performance invites audiences into an evening of reflection, healing and musical transcendence. Drawing from Meyer’s acclaimed works 'The Alchemy of Living' (2021) and 'Reawakening' (2024), the performance explores themes of Afro-futurism, intergenerational healing, spirituality, joy, peace and forgiveness.
Audiences can expect a rich journey through the South African songbook, featuring compositions by visionary artists such as Nduduzo Makhathini, Tumi Mogorosi, Kyle Shepherd and others. The performance begins with intimate solo piano meditations before unfolding into a dynamic collective experience with a remarkable ensemble of musicians.
The bandstand features Siya Makuzeni, Buhlebendalo, Kekelingo, Spartz, Viwe Mkizwana, Sthembiso Bhengu, Thabang Moloi, and Amongst The People I Know, bringing together a diverse range of sonic voices in conversation with Meyer’s artistic vision.
The evening concludes with an opportunity for dialogue between artist and audience
