Description
Mystic Seaport is proud to host its 36th annual Sea Music Festival, one of the world’s premier sea music events. Fans of traditional sea music gather each year to hear national and international performers, along with the Museum’s chantey staff, perform music from the golden Age of Sail through the best of contemporary compositions. The weekend’s festivities include daytime and evening concerts, special performances for children, instructional workshops, and a unique opportunity to witness sea music at work aboard the Museum’s historic vessels.
Music of the Sea Symposium: June 12-13, 2015
The Music of the Sea Symposium explores the interaction between sea, music, and song. As an integral part of the Sea Music Festival, this two-day collaborative program explores subjects from history and folklore, to literature, ethnomusicology and many other related topics.
The Friday, June 12, session will be held in the Olin Science Center on the Connecticut College campus in New London, Connecticut. Admission is free. The symposium continues Saturday, June 13, at Mystic Seaport and is included in Museum admission.
