The Hallerschipper describe themselves as “the slightly different shanty choir“. Traditional sea shanties by Freddy and Hans Albers are, of course, also part of their repertoire, but Captain Michael Vieth has developed his own unique style of presentation even for these evergreens. The choir adds a special touch with maritime pop hits. Popular tracks by “SANTIANO”, for example, are a regular feature of the programme. The Hallerschipper also perform hits by Achim Reichel, the Flippers and other artists in their own unique style, which is strongly influenced by eight musicians who add special effects to the vocal performances with their instruments.

Andreas Gabalier was so taken with the programme that he gave permission for his hit “I sing a Liad für di’ to be rewritten for the choir’s own purposes. Under its new title, the piece has become a sort of anthem for the choir.

The growing audience numbers and the expanding reach of the Hallerschipper prove that the choir director has set the right course and is attracting more and more young people with a modern programme. Come and be amazed by a dazzling display of good cheer.
