New Bedford Harbor Sea Chantey Chorus

Please join the Mattapoisett Museum, 5 Church Street, on Saturday, August 23, at 3:00 pm for a free concert by the New Bedford Harbor Sea Chantey Chorus.

The New Bedford Harbor Sea Chantey Chorus is one of the most harmonious crews to come ashore. Their repertoire of work songs of the Yankee sailor and whaler reflects the region’s rich maritime heritage. This 24-voice group sings ballads and ditties of global mariners and coastwise fisherfolk in North America, the Cape Verde Islands, and the British Isles. Be ready to have fun and learn how to “rant and roll like a true-born sailor!” Also performing with the chorus will be Butlers Flats, a group of chorus members who will also sing sea chanties.

The New Bedford Harbor Sea Chantey Chorus is a volunteer group of the Schooner Ernestina-Morrissey. This event is free, but donations are gladly accepted.
