Attenborough's Ocean in Concert
Sir David Attenborough’s greatest message of hope brought to life, live by Camerata.
“After 100 years on the planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea.” — Sir David Attenborough
Ocean in Concert features award-winning composer Steven Price’s original score, performed live by Camerata — Queensland's Chamber Orchestra, in perfect synchronisation with the film’s spectacular imagery and Attenborough's narration. Price’s epic score to Ocean captures the drama, savagery, and beauty of the ocean’s underwater world magnifying the film’s impact, amplifying both its wonder and its urgency.
Ocean reveals that nowhere is more vital to life — or more full of wonder — than the ocean. Attenborough reflects how his lifetime has paralleled a golden age of ocean discovery, revealing how a healthy ocean sustains life on Earth. Stunning cinematography of coral reefs, kelp forests, and the open sea captures not only the ocean’s beauty, but dramatically captures the brutal threats it faces from destructive fishing and mass coral bleaching in never-before-seen footage.
Attenborough’s message is one of optimism and hope: the ocean can recover to a glory faster than we had ever imagined.
