The ladies’ choir Eigen Wijs and the shanty choir De Moordtzangers take turns performing.
Eigen Wijs was founded in 2012 and consists of a lively group of 28 women, accompanied by a guitarist and an accordion-playing conductor. Their repertoire is diverse and extensive. The choir performs at festivals, fairs, care facilities, private parties, and even in people’s homes—always a favorite during Gouda by Candlelight!
A group of local gardeners decided it was time to establish their own shanty choir in Moordrecht, and soon Shanty Choir De Moordtzangers was born. The choir grew, welcoming non-gardeners as well, and now boasts over 30 members. They are accompanied by a five-piece band and led by Jolanda Warmenhoven.
De Moordtzangers are known for their unique style, marked by enthusiasm, joy, and strong audience interaction. Their repertoire features traditional work songs—shanties—as well as other maritime songs and classic sing-alongs.

The approximately 30 men of Shanty Choir West Zuidwest from Gouda perform authentic shanties, sea songs, and work songs from the era of the great sailing ships. These sailors’ songs are accompanied by various instruments, capturing the rhythm of hard labor as well as the melodies sung on the decks during long, quiet evenings.
In harbors and taverns, songs about the sea, work, and distant ports were also part of the sailors’ tradition. With great joy, expression, and enthusiasm, the choir brings these songs to life.
In April 2025, they will present a theater production centered around a relevant theme.
