WHAT HAPPENS IF KMA CLOSES?

If KMA closes...
Children lose opportunities.
Teachers lose jobs.
Families lose support.
Hout Bay loses a community institution.
Cape Town loses a music legacy.
We believe this story should not end here.

It was a privilege to celebrate Martin Christopher Watt's life through the memorial concert he so thoughtfully envisioned.

Charl Keet's touching If Wings Were Mine and Hendrik Hofmeyr's luminous Pie Jesu led beautifully into Martin's own Te Deum, composed shortly before his passing.

Heartfelt thanks to Amici de Lumine and Michaelangelo Cloete for bringing his music to life with such sensitivity, artistry and care. 🪽✨

Before there is a performance, there is a teacher.
Before confidence, there is encouragement.
Before success, there is someone who believes.

For 19 years, our teachers have done exactly that.
Today, they face uncertainty as KMA fights for its future.
Help us protect the people who have helped shape hundreds of young lives.
