Tailor-made support for our shanty choirs

As the German Shanty Choir Association, it is of particular importance to us to support our members in the best possible way

Do you need sheet music for songs or exciting arrangements? No problem, we have an extensive collection that is constantly being expanded. Do you want to develop your musical skills further? Our workshops and training courses offer you the perfect opportunity to do so.

And what would a shanty choir be without performances? We help you find new performance opportunities and connect you with other choirs. Exchanging ideas with like-minded people is especially important to us, because singing together is the most fun!

For the planning and implementation of special projects, the professional association supports choirs in obtaining grants or subsidies.

It’s wonderful to be part of this vibrant community, and we look forward to accompanying you on your musical journey. Let’s keep the tradition of sea shanty and sailor music alive together and have lots of fun doing it!
