This series will reveal the complete natural history of our ocean planet, from its familiar shores to the mysteries of its deepest seas. －Sir David Attenborough
The world famous documentary series "The Blue Planet" is a joint production from BBC and the Discovery Channel featuring awesome soundtrack music composed by composer George Fenton that enhances the scenes with life and character. The music in "The Blue Planet" goes so well with the visual presentation that it creates a grand soundscape that's compelling to audiences around the globe and has won the Emmy Award and the British Academy Award. At times you hear mystical sound from the ocean, at times you hear the wonder of life beyond explanation.
The series was shot in duration of 5 years on locations across all seven continents. It brings the wonders of the world in front of our eyes.
Accompanied by scenes projected on giant screen, you will hear the music in live performance with the conductor none other than George Fenton himself! The evening will be linked by a presenter who introduces you to the footage, giving the amazing statistics and facts about what you are seeing as well as a behind the scenes account of what it was like to do the filming. Whilst highly entertaining, this concert is eventually about an important message. By witnessing the wonders of the oceans we can better understand how to protect them. It is a message that we can’t miss or ignore.
