“At the heart of my craft is finding the beauty of being human and helping others do the same. It’s the pursuit of truth through unabashed examination of the human experience, using abstract expression to distil that truth into a cross-section of the human spirit so potent it is failed by all other mediums. Music radiates by its very nature, drawing individuals together and forging a common identity that binds them as a community.”
BRIEF BIO
MICHAEL GREBLA
COMPOSER
Western Australia | New York City
Spreading music described as “a testament to the universal strength and endurance of the human spirit” by Cut-Common Magazine, Michael is an international award-winning emerging composer from Western Australia based in New York City. With a deep conviction for the role music play as a unifying mechanism in society, constructing identity and building community, he endeavours to create meaningful and inclusive cultural experiences, bridging tradition and the present through his music. In recent years his works have dealt with ideas of journey, displacement, transience, and spirituality, offering his own deeply introspective expression and examination of the human experience.
