Preview the Score


A Sonnet at the Edge of the Reef is about the careful dance of sharing our love of the natural world with the next generation while holding back--just for a little bit longer--the most sobering truths of the climate crisis.


Craig Santos Perez’s tender and expansive poetry walks us alongside a family’s visit to the Waikīkī Aquarium and back home, snuggled up in a warm familial embrace.


Lyrical vocal lines with embellishing flourishes express the delicacy and beauty of the coral ecosystem, while shimmering motives in the piano depict sunlight on the water’s surface and the gentle movement of ocean life.


A Sonnet at the Edge of the Reef was commissioned by Mirror Visions Ensemble and premiered on May 1, 2023 in New York City.
