The Samuel Lawrence Foundation presented Oceans of Bach on Nov. 6, an extraordinary evening that united classical music and ocean science in a shared call to protect one of this planet’s most vital resources: the ocean. The event was held at the Meeting House, First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego.
The program featured acclaimed world-class German pianist Danaë Dörken, whose inspired all-Bach performance captured the harmony between art and nature. Interwoven throughout the concert, Dr. Lynne Talley, distinguished professor emerita at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Dr. Jeff Severinghaus, professor of geosciences at Scripps, shared compelling insights on oceans and the globe’s changing climate and the rise of atmospheric CO₂ over time. Inspiring opening and closing remarks were delivered by Bart Ziegler, Ph.D., president and co-founder of the Samuel Lawrence Foundation, according to a news release.
The evening stood as a testament to the power of collaboration — where art amplifies science, and science deepens art. All donations from Oceans of Bach will directly go to the Keeling Curve Foundation, supporting global climate science and sustainability, the news release stated.
The Samuel Lawrence Foundation continues to champion collaborations that foster meaningful human connection through expanded access to science, education, and the arts.
