Ocean in Concert

Experience the world premiere this November: Ocean with David Attenborough in Concert. A majestic nature film showcasing breathtaking footage of the underwater world, accompanied by a symphony orchestra and choir performing the cinematic score by Oscar winner Steven Price live, in perfect sync with the stunning visuals on screen.

None other than David Attenborough, the voice of our planet, takes you on a journey through the wonders of marine life. The presenter and filmmaker reflects on how his life coincided with the great age of ocean exploration. From vibrant coral reefs to mysterious depths — he shows why a healthy ocean is vital to a stable and thriving planet, and how resilient it can be if we give it the chance.

Breathtaking, immersive cinematography reveals the wonders of life beneath the waves and unveils — like never before — the realities and challenges facing our oceans: from destructive fishing methods to widespread coral bleaching. Yet the story is infused with optimism. Attenborough highlights inspiring stories from around the world to deliver his key message: the ocean can recover to a beauty no living person has ever witnessed.

Presented by esk film in collaboration with Silverback Films, Ocean 25, All3 Media, Altitude Films, National Geographic, and Steven Price.
