The Centre for Jazz
and Popular Music is thrilled to announce a captivating performance by renowned
South African pianist and composer Keenan Meyer on Tuesday, 22 October 2024.
Meyer will showcase selections from his new work ‘Reawakening’ alongside pieces
from his debut album, ‘The Alchemy of Living’ and notable repertoire from the
South African jazz archive.
This concert, titled
‘The Art of Pianism’ delves into the rich tapestry of African pianism,
emphasizing themes of reclamation, ancestral recall, and the transformative
power of music in accessing cultural universals for personal ascension. The
performance invites audiences to embark on a journey of deeper awareness,
empathy, and connection.
Keenan Meyer’s
musical journey began in Johannesburg, where his innate rhythmic sense and
melodic ear ignited a lifelong passion for music. Since starting piano lessons
in 2007, he has emerged as a key figure in the South African jazz scene. Beyond
his performance and composition skills, Meyer is deeply committed to teaching
and mentoring emerging musicians, nurturing the next generation of artistic
talent.
