Sea chanteys on Sunday
The New Bedford Harbor Sea Chantey Chorus will honor the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by focusing on three corners of colonial era, maritime trade: New England, Jolly Old England, and the Caribbean. The program will explore sugar,
rum, roast beef, carousing, privateering, and the Pacific and whaling voyages that followed the Revolution.
Founded in 2001, the chorus is a non‑audition,
community‑based group singing traditional maritime “sea chanteys” and related songs. The group’s repertoire is rooted in sea chanteys — songs historically sung on ships to coordinate work, like raising sails or anchors, often with repetitive, call‑and‑response patterns.
WHAT: The New Bedford Harbor Sea Chantey Chorus WHEN: Sunday, Nov. 1; 2 p.m.
WHERE: The Meeting House in Tiverton Four Corners, 3850 Main Road, Tiverton
COST: $15 in advance; $20 cash at door. Tickets can be purchased at FourCornersArts.org
