The Song Company’s artistic director\u00a0Roland Peelman is nothing if not even handed.\u00a0Regarding the ensemble’s upcoming concerts called\u00a0Ship to Shore, <\/em>he says: \u201cSince we have girls AND boys in the Song Company ,<\/span><\/span>we are combining sea\u2010shanties — the rough–and–ready sounds of men on boats — with songs that belong on land, the songs of the women left behind, waiting for men to return (or never to return), as it may be. The work on the boats was tough and physical.\u00a0Singing on board was part of the social cohesion on the boat. The call of the great vast oceans, the adventure, the danger and the loss of life never was quite understood by the women, but OMG did it prompt some fantastic songs!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Joining the Song Company in this maritime musical adventure are guitarist\u00a0brothers Leonard and Slava Grigoryan.\u00a0Peelman is\u00a0as excited by this collaboration as he is by the concept. “The guitar thing really suits this program.\u00a0They will bring both rhythm and blues to the show. A laugh and a tear!\u00a0 We have worked before with Slava, so we know how great he is.\u00a0 Together with Leonard, there is a whole range of colours and styles we can cover, all the way from the sturdy British or American shanties to the more exotic songs from around the Equator.”<\/p>\n

Stories will be told of Bobby Shafto – British Tory MP, Member for County Durham and he of the silver buckled knees; there’s ‘Sweet Molly Malone’ – was she a real person? There’s the perennially ‘Drunken Sailor’, written in the Dorian mode, and Kurt Weill’s sultry ‘Surabaya Johnny’.<\/p>\n

As Grigoryan says, ” A show with the singers of the Song Company is another opportunity to extend ourselves. The musical possibilities are very exciting. With such repertoire, it promises to be a lot of fun! \u201d<\/p>\n

The Song Company comprises: Anna Fraser, soprano, Clive <\/span><\/span>Birch, bass, Mark <\/span><\/span>Donnelly, baritone,\u00a0Richard Black, tenor, Susannah Lawergren soprano, Lanneke Jones, mezzo- soprano.<\/p>\n
