Life of the Sea

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.
