Welcome to Ocean Bloom
We have created a deeply moving live state of the art visual and music concert dedicated to the oceans.
It is a dream project where we have partnered with some of the best National Geographic ocean filmmakers in the world, who have agreed to project their cutting edge HD films of life in the ocean, whilst incredible musicians perform a dynamic live concert in a 360 dome space.
Ocean Bloom is not only an invitation to be part of a deeply moving concert experience but also an invitation to be part of the rising movement and network dedicated to Ocean protection around the world.
This event offers the opportunity to come together and deepen the discussion to how we can best support life on planet earth and each other in this critical time.
