Marvento Duo has partnered with Multiverse Concert Series for the multi-year Reef Music project. The plight of coral reefs around the world is often overlooked – these beautiful ecosystems exist far from our everyday environments, but are suffering nonetheless from our continued use of fossil fuels. In 2018, we collaborated with Dr. Sarah Davies of Boston University to produce a concert highlighting the secret life of corals, the destructive process of “coral bleaching” that occurs when ocean temperatures rise, and the complicated future that coral reefs face in the anthropocene climate.

Black Anemones by Joseph Schwantner evoked the movement of plants and animals in the ocean’s currents.
