Whaling Women
WORLD PREMIERE

7:00PM
First Unitarian Church
71 8th Street

The lives of 6 whaling women from New Bedford and Nantucket...in their own words.
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.
This performance was sponsored in part by a grant from the Helen Ellis Charitable Trust, and the Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Freetown, New Bedford, Mattapoisett, Rochester, and Westport Local Cultural Councils, agencies supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
