Nestled in the vibrant waters of the Caribbean lies a hidden gem of biodiversity and ecological health — the coral reef of Tela, Honduras.
In an era where the majority of coral reefs are experiencing degradation and decline, Tela’s reefs are a rare example of resilience and hope.

Beneath the Surface
Koga City 💙
This show was full of firsts for Music for the Ocean: our biggest audience yet with over 500 people, our first performance with ballet, our first with woodwinds, our first with a Chikuzen Biwa Master, and our first with the mayor joining us on stage in a Tela Coral hat.
The show opened with a beautiful children’s choir and ballet, and what moved us most was hearing from audience members that the performance changed the way they felt about the ocean.
We are so grateful to the people of Koga for making this visit so special. This show was a year in the making, and it felt like it. Thank you for the welcome, the care, the food, the patience with our translation apps, and all the work that made this possible!
A special visit to Koga Nishi Elementary School 💙
Chad and Hui performed for students in Koga City as part of the Music for the Ocean Japan tour.
Afterward, the kids gathered around them with so much excitement. Such a sweet moment from the tour.
Thank you to Koga Nishi Elementary School for the warm welcome!
Dorado, Mahi Mahi Chase from the Okinawa show 💙
@chadwickcannon and @sumire_vln performed this piece with ocean visuals and lighting that made the whole moment feel alive.
Thank you to everyone who came out and shared this night with us! Next stop, Koga City!
The Music for the Ocean crew visited OIST for a Rebel Reef screening, a talk from Tela Coral co-founder @juliberwald, and music from @chadwickcannon.
Such a cool stop in Okinawa, and a huge thank you to the student council for organizing and to everyone who joined us!
Our @musicfornature_official team has landed in Okinawa 🇯🇵 and spent a first day exploring the Kerama National Park @okinawa_teada.
For some, this was their first real exploration of a coral reef ecosystem 🪸!! How absolutely amazing to experience the magic of the place that we`re working to protect through our Music for the Ocean shows 🌊.
If you`re in Japan, catch us at a future show or @rebelreeffilm screening! All info and tickets at 🔗 link in bio or www.telacoral.org/japan
