Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

Life of the Sea

Life of the Sea
On a popular chat show a great maritime explorer is interviewed about his life at sea and, most importantly, his new discovery... a hitherto unknown island in the middle of the Pacific.

But this new land mass is not what our explorer thinks it is… it is, in fact, a garbage patch in the middle of the ocean.

Join our latest community musical adventure featuring Handel's Water Music and new commissioned work by composer James Redwood. With the encouragement of the interviewer, Adam Courting, the audience, and our primary school friends, our explorer vows to return and clean up the ocean.

Suitable for age 7+
