Sea shanties are having a viral moment right now, and this week on Classical IPR in Concert, we'll dive in and add our own voices!
We'll learn about sea shanties from expert Lee Murdock, and hear shanties for different types of work on a ship.
Long haul shanty, short haul shanty, capstan shanty? Sea song? Whatever it takes - get 'er done!
