MARCH is a powerful and joyful exploration of the rhythms, dynamics, and emotions of political marching, blending monologue, mass protest and an absurdist game show.

Commissioned by Contemporary Music for All (CoMA) and written by composer and theatre-maker Uri Agnon, MARCH brought together local professional and amateur music-makers, director-conductor Matthew Hardy and narrator Elisabeth Gunawan to interrogate the concepts of protest together.

Genre: Classical contemporary

About this event

All events across New Music Biennial 2025 were free.

Events included two performances of the same work and a short interview with the creative team in between the two. This enabled audiences to experience the second performance with greater insight into the creative process.
