A rollicking, swashbuckling program of shanties and songs about the sea.

Featuring Australia's leading vocal ensemble, The Song Company and the extraordinary talents of the Grigoryan Brothers on guitar.

The Grigoryan Brothers are stellar performers. Seamlessly crossing the boundaries of classical and popular guitar styles, they are the perfect collaborators for this rollicking, swashbuckling program of shanties and songs about the sea.

From the coast of Newfoundland to the shores of Ireland and from the ports of Portugal to the sundrenched beaches of Brazil, the men that kaboured on the tall ships were expected to sing. Back home, the women left behind found their own expression for loss and longing.

This concert contains some of the most memorable sea shanties written as well as adaptations of classic seasongs.
