Chad Cannon & Hui Wu: Music for the Ocean

Description

Music for the Ocean is a one-of-a-kind concert experience that brings the sea to the stage. Emmy-nominated composer and violinist Chad Cannon joins pianist Hui Wu and animator Timothy Rauch to conjure an entire ocean world from a concert hall through original compositions, spontaneous improvisation, breathtaking animation, and immersive sound design.

The show builds to its emotional peak with "The Rebel Reef" — a sweeping theme Cannon wrote after diving into Tela Bay, Honduras, where miles of critically endangered elkhorn coral still flourish in defiance of global reef collapse. It's the kind of piece that stays with you. A portion of proceeds supports Tela Coral, the nonprofit working to protect this extraordinary place.

The night concludes with a special Q&A and book signing with Juli Berwald, Tela Coral co-founder and award-winning author of Life on the Rocks.
