The Twelve Wild Geese, presented by Ensemble Galilei

The Twelve Wild Geese is an ancient tale of a princess and her brothers, told for centuries across cultures from Ireland to Norway and Myanmar to Denmark, and published in an Irish folk tale collection by W. B. Yeats. Refashioned by David Novak and Ensemble Galilei, the work explores universal themes of loyalty, courage, love, and hope through a vivid fusion of storytelling and music that celebrates creativity, humor, and the joy of art in the making.

Known for pushing the boundaries of multidisciplinary performance, Ensemble Galilei has spent over two decades blending words, music, and visual art through collaborations with figures and institutions such as Neal Conan, the Hubble Space Telescope Institute, National Geographic, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and NPR, culminating in this deeply collaborative project with Novak. A recipient of the National Storytelling Network’s Circle of Excellence Award, Novak brings masterful theatrical presence and emotional depth to the tale, fully embodying each character and captivating audiences of all ages with his immersive, passionate storytelling, creating an experience that bridges past and present in a way that is both timeless and profoundly meaningful.

West Bay Rotary of Camden is proud to present “Gordon Bok with The January Men & Then Some” on April 18th at the Camden Opera House. All proceeds from this community fundraising event provide funding for local and international charities as well as local scholarships.

Gordon grew up around the water and spent his early years working on various vessels. Along the East Coast, he learned tunes, sea songs, ballads, and myths from watermen and the people whose lives revolved around the sea. Composing his own songs and stories, he eventually became world-renowned for music in the maritime tradition.

Over the span of 60 years, Gordon has released more than 50 albums, touring across North America, including Alaska and some Canadian provinces, the U.K., New Zealand, and a bit of Australia, solo and with his wife, singer and harpist Carol Rohl. His entire body of recorded music was recently acquired by The Smithsonian Institute’s Folkways record label. 

In January of 1996, Gordon gathered The January Men & Then Some as a male chorus to explore working songs of the sea with him. He explains: “You might notice that two of our men are women. We noticed that back in ‘98. (We were a little light in the tenor section.)” They sing songs of many countries, as well as music composed and arranged by group members and other contemporary composers.

Doors open at 2:30 and show starts at 3:00 p.m.

This concert is made possible through the generous support of Vanderbilt Beach Resort and Edward Jones-Ken Gardiner.
