The Magpies. Gypsies & Sailors All! - Spring 2010 - photo courtesy Ed Crockett

We start our 2010-11 season with one last performance of our popular program Gypsies & Sailors, featuring songs of travel, exploration, pilgrimage - and the journey of life itself. We are joined by the lively Jeff White (percussion) and the excellent Nancy Kangas (spoken word) in a program that includes sea shanties, gypsy songs, spirituals, medieval pilgrim dances, and great poetry, all performed in the beautiful venue of St Leo Church (south of German Village - map below). Please join us!

GYPSIES & SAILORS

Songs of travel, exploration, pilgrimage, exile, escape, and the journey of life itself - featuring sea shanties, medieval pilgrim dances, spirituals, songs from China, the Faeroe Islands, and South Africa, excerpts from Brahms' Zigeunerlieder (Gypsy Songs), and finally a voyage along the Milky Way, in the form of Dream Songs by Sheena Phillips.
