Music. Dance. Puppetry. Conservation.

Carnival is a one-of-a-kind performance that combines music, dance, puppetry and storytelling to celebrate endangered animals from across the world.

Experience choreography by Dance Heginbotham alongside larger-than-life animal puppets by Greg Corbino, with music and community engagement led by Ocean Music Action.

This theatrical concert experience features Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens in a new arrangement for six instruments, paired with the chamber music edition of Carnival of the Nearly Extinct Animals by composer Stephanie Ann Boyd. Additional music by Michi Wiancko and Leilehua Lanzilotti completes the aural tapestry.  Storytelling and poetry are seamlessly interwoven with the music, dance, and puppetry.

Ocean Music Action's Carnival is a joyful celebration of the natural world, captivating audiences of all ages and providing actionable next steps for communities to come together to help protect endangered animals and their habitats.
