As the original ensemble of the Navy Band, the Concert Band has been performing public concerts and high-profile events since 1925. Touring the country for 12 to 15 weeks each year, the Navy Concert Band reaches out to audiences in areas that do not have frequent opportunities to see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles. Sailors in the Navy Band are full-time, professional musicians, many with undergraduate and graduate degrees in music.
“For many years, Navy bands have been where it matters, when it matters, just like the rest of our Navy,” Capt. Kenneth Collins, the U.S. Navy Band commanding officer, said. “Today we have Sailors performing around the world, improving relations with our allies abroad as well as telling the Navy story here at home.”
