Chad Cannon: Music for the Ocean

$0-$100 (priced as "Pay-what-you-can")    |  Jul 17, 2025  |  7:30PM - 10:00PM

Paganini flair and Hans Zimmer mood come together in this live show by composer-violinist Chad Cannon and pianist Hui Wu. Complete with brand-new, colorful animations by Tim Rauch and evocative sound design from hydrophones around the ocean, Music for the Ocean tells stories about marine life in a fresh way that will make you fall in love with the sea, and hopefully inspire you to take action to protect it. The duo is raising money for Tela Coral, a nonprofit working with scientists to preserve critically endangered coral in Honduras.

BONUS: Author and marine biologist Dr. Juli Berwald will join USC scientists Dr. Carly Kenkel and Allison Agsten for a conversation following the performance, to discuss their work in ocean conservation.
