Shantykoor Albatros

The Shanty choir “Albatros”, was founded in 1998, and currently consists of 28 members, some of whom play an instrument such as accordions, guitar, drums and bass drum.
An extensive sound system ensures a good singing performance and musical support during the performance.

The choir is also led by a professional conductor.
The repertoire consists of shanties and related songs in the Dutch, English, German and Spanish languages.

Because there are very regular performances in care and nursing homes, the repertoire is well stocked with Dutch songs, especially about Rotterdam, the sea and the nostalgia of the open water.

Characteristic of the choir is the relaxed atmosphere during the performances. The choir radiates that it enjoys singing and that it wants to give the audience a pleasant afternoon or evening.

Partly because of this, Shantykoor “Albatros” is well known in the region and far beyond.

An average of about 40 performances are performed annually.

Regularly in care and nursing homes, but also at company parties, herring parties at fairs, weddings and receptions, etc.

In short, everywhere where conviviality is a requirement.

Shantykoor Albatros is a member of Shanty Netherlands.
