Dear fellow Hanoverians:
David Coffin, a musician, singer, storyteller, educator
and maritime specialist, will present “Life At Sea: A Voyage In
Song” at the John Curtis Library on Tuesday, April 21 at 4:00 p.m.
The musical program recreates a
voyage on an old New England whaling ship, with the
audience members serving as the ship’s crew. Mr. Coffin will lead
the audience in singing sea shanties, “hoisting the sails”, and
acting out other shipboard
activities. Playing the concertina and other
instruments, he is particularly skilled at getting a whole audience
singing. There will also be an appearance by his friend, “Pierre
with the bad hair”. The program is very
interactive, full of humor, and informative as well as
entertaining.
Mr. Coffin is a descendant of the Nantucket Coffins,
one of the most prominent American seafaring families. He is a
multi-talented performer who has been playing and singing music in many genres
at hundreds of
venues all over the country for more than 20 years. The
program is for families with children in kindergarten and older. Free advance
tickets are available but not crucial. For more information, please call
781-826-2972, extension 4.
