Description

The lives of 6 whaling women from New Bedford and Nantucket...in their own words Join us for a world premiere musical event-a lyrical score that marries composer Jodi Goble’s original music with the historically-accurate sea chanteys, hymn tunes, and lullabies of the 19th century. Whaling Women tells of love and loss-whether at sea-chasing whales and braving the dangers of shipwreck, or on land-managing households and fighting for social justice in their communities. FEATURING: Diana McVey Helen Hassinger Patrice Tiedemann Melynda Davis Emily Harmon Heather Gallagher and Hon. Raymond Veary as The Man in the Boat Jodi Goble, Composer and Music Director In partnership with the New Bedford Port Society. The concert runs 72 minutes. Reception immediately following.
