Enjoy a spectacular, memory-making evening at the Esplanade Association’s Moondance Gala this September 21. The sparkling Charles River is the backdrop for sunset cocktails under the tree canopy, an elegant dinner and inspiring program in the Grand Tent, and dancing to cap off the night as the stars appear. Celebrate and support all that makes Boston’s iconic riverside park as vital and vibrant as it is today. For tickets and more information visit https://esplanade.org/moondance/
The New England Aquarium and GBH present a special behind-the-scenes look at NOVA’s three-part series Sea Change: The Gulf of Maine as part of the Aquarium’s Lowell Lecture Series. Featuring imagery by acclaimed film producer and veteran photojournalist Brian Skerry, the series examines the changes taking place in the Gulf of Maine, a body of water that is warming 97 percent faster than the global ocean. Blending science, exploration, natural history, and stories of human experience, Sea Change illuminates how the gulf may serve as a preview of what might happen in other parts of the world due to climate change. Free.

Join us on September 10 at 6:30 pm in person at Simons Theatre, New England Aquarium, 1 Central Wharf, or via live stream for a screening of highlights from the series followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with Skerry and other members of the filmmaking team about their experiences documenting and studying this spectacular wilderness, and how the communities that live and work along along the gulf’s shores are working to sustain its future. Panelists include:

Brian Skerry, Photographer and Producer, Sea Change
