Marcus Goddard, Antarctica: Life Emerging *

Antarctica: Life Emerging features a musical journey through the icy landscape of Antarctica as part of the global campaign to safeguard the Southern Ocean. Created in collaboration between composer Marcus Goddard and SeaLegacy co-founder Paul Nicklen the work is an emotionally engaging symphonic journey that reveals the beauty and the plight of Earth’s most remote continent. “I aspire to bring audiences into not only the awe-inspiring ruggedness and beauty of Antarctica but also to the tenderness of life expressed so eloquently by Paul Nicklen’s stunning images” – Marcus Goddard.
