The evening opens with a solo harp performance given on both electric and acoustic style harps. A native of Brittany, Cadoret's musical style is a unique blend of his traditional Celtic roots influenced by classical music and liberated through improvisation. A film documentary presented by Erik van Sebille, serves as an enlightening interlude in which he shares his research on ocean currents and climate change. The audience will then be treated to a musical interpretation of the ocean data in a world premiere of Stef Veldhuis' "Music by Oceans" for solo harp.
