Music for the Ocean is a set of compositions and improvisations by composer-violinist Chad Cannon, performed with pianist Hui Wu. Supported by brand-new, colorful animations by Tim Rauch and sound design / technical direction by Will Chen, the show aims to help people fall in love with marine life and the ocean, and inspire them to take action to help preserve its fragile ecosystems. Our team has a goal of raising $100,000 for Tela Coral, a non-profit working with scientists to build a coral gene / bio bank in Tela, Honduras, to preserve critically endangered elkhorn and other coral species.
