Based on the classic children's book and Academy Award-nominated film, Paddle to the Sea explores our relationship to the bodies of water that connect our lives. We will perform our original soundtrack for the film, as well as water-inspired works by composers Philip Glass and Jacob Druckman and the traditional music of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Join us on a multimedia journey to the open sea!
