Martland Reveille

This thought-provoking programme weaves together bold contemporary voices who delve into the interconnectedness of nature, memory, and sound. Steve Martland’s Kgakala (meaning “sunrise”) opens with pulsing piano lines that won him early acclaim. His long-time partner in performance and composition, Dave Maric, presents a brand-new work, Shifting Baseline Syndrome, providing a commentary on what we classify as newly accepted norms in our relationship with nature. The concert closes with Martland’s rousing Reveille—a blazing, rhythmic call to consciousness. Rooted in environmental awareness and sonic curiosity, this is music that listens deeply—to the world, to each other, and to the future.
