Oceans of Bach
A Science & Music Experience
Nov 6th | Thursday | 6:30-8:30PM
Join the Samuel Lawrence Foundation for an unforgettable evening where music and science meet. Internationally acclaimed German pianist Danae Dörken performs an all-Bach recital, paired with insights from leading ocean scientists, Professor Lynne Talley (The Planet’s Ocean Currents) and Professor Jeff Severinghaus (CO₂ Changes Over Time).
This unique Science + Music collaboration explores the beauty of Bach’s timeless works alongside groundbreaking research about our changing planet.

How we make a change
San Onofre & Beyond
Mission: Advocating for accurate monitoring, safe storage & moving of 3.6 million lbs. of deadly toxic nuclear waste
The Samuel Lawrence Foundation advocates for safe nuclear waste storage, accurate radiation monitoring and the eventual moving of 3.6 million lbs. of deadly toxic nuclear waste currently stored at San Onofre. The San Onofre nuclear waste dump is 100 feet from the Pacific Ocean, in an active earthquake and tsunami zone. We also support groups like Mothers for Peace addressing similar issues at Diablo Canyon and beyond.
Our goal is to blend global nuclear waste research and industry expertise with political efforts, fostering a conducive environment resulting in nuclear waste monitoring, safe storage, and transportation to a secure long-term facility.
