The United States Army Field Band from Washington, D.C., is the official touring musical representative of the U.S. Army.
Their mission is to connect with Americans, share Army Stories, and honor Veterans as the Musical Ambassadors of the Army.
These active-duty Soldiers tour nationally and internationally, performing for live audiences in large concert venues, while reaching hundreds of millions of enthusiastic followers online.
Through performances in communities across the United States, The U.S. Army Field Band fosters a positive relationship with the American people, supports diplomatic efforts around the world, and inspires future generations to serve.
The Concert Band & Soldiers’ Chorus are the oldest and largest of The U.S. Army Field Band’s performing components.
Founded in 1946 and 1957 respectively, these two ensembles combine to present joint concerts on their national tours. They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries for audiences totaling hundreds of millions.
The 60-member Concert Band and 29-member Soldiers’ Chorus perform regularly in some of the most famous concert halls in the world, and just as often in the humblest auditoriums in the smallest of communities.
The joining of these two ensembles allows them to offer unparalleled versatility of programming, ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, jazz classics, and Broadway musicals. The band and chorus also perform independently, and have recently shared the
stage with such ensembles as the Boston Pops, the Cincinnati Pops, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and
the National Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to their national tours, formal concerts, chamber recitals, and educational outreach, members of the Concert Band & Soldiers’ Chorus frequently represent the Army at formal and ceremonial functions, including the Presidential Inaugural Parade, presidential funerals, the Army All-American Bowl, and diplomatic efforts overseas.
