U.S. Navy Band Sea Chanters - FREE Performance at University of Memphis
2024-03-13 19:00 - 20:30 | 3800 Central Avenue, Memphis , TN, 3800 Central Avenue, Memphis, TN, United States
WASHINGTON – The United States Navy Band Sea Chanters chorus will perform a free concert in Memphis on their 2024 national tour March 13 at 7 p.m. at the University of Memphis Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center, 3800 Central Ave., Memphis, Tennessee.
All U.S. Navy Band performances are free and open to the public, though some concerts may require ticket reservations. Memphis FREE ticket link below.
The U.S. Navy Band Sea Chanters is the official chorus of America’s Navy. The ensemble performs a variety of music ranging from traditional choral music, including sea chanteys and patriotic fare, to opera, Broadway and contemporary music. The Sea Chanters chorus is frequently found at the center of high-profile national events. At home in Washington, D.C., the group performs for the president, vice president, and numerous congressional, military and foreign dignitaries.
One of the U.S. Navy Band’s primary responsibilities involves touring the country. All of the band’s primary performing units embark each year on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country, allowing the band to reach audiences in areas of the country that do not have opportunities to see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles on a regular basis. The concerts are family-friendly events, meant to be entertaining to veterans, families, individuals and those interested in joining the Navy.
The Concert is FREE but please reserve a seat at:
