Shopping evening concert with shanty choir De Scheepsjoagers Recordings of March 23, 2023 in the foyer of vanBeresteyn Veendam What better way to experience spring than with a performance by “De Scheepjoagers”. This choir with 60 tough men who have pledged their hearts and voices to the sea shanty, has become an indispensable part of East Groningen. Under the direction of conductor Nico Dijkman, they bring a wide repertoire with more than 100 shanty and sea shanties, but the Dutch song is not forgotten either. The name “De Scheepsjoagers” is a household name in the region and among our eastern neighbors. The fact that shanty music is still popular is evident from the busy program of the large choir with its own musical accompaniment.
