The U.S. Army Chorus

In 1956, The U.S. Army Chorus was established as the vocal counterpart of The United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own.” From its inception, the 34-member chorus has established and maintained a reputation of excellence in the performance of choral literature. Members of the Army Chorus, most of whom hold advanced degrees in music, are selected from among the nation’s finest musicians. Beyond the traditional military music and patriotic standards, the Army Chorus repertoire covers a broad spectrum of genres to include pop, Broadway, folk and classical music. The Army Chorus performs frequently at the White House, the Vice President’s Residence, the U.S. Capitol and the State Department. When in Washington, D.C., world leaders, foreign dignitaries and military counterparts visiting our nation’s senior leaders are serenaded with songs performed in their native languages. The Army Chorus customizes its musical programs to fit the occasion and has performed in over 40 languages and dialects. Regularly, the Army Chorus participates in presidential library dedication ceremonies, memorials honoring significant events in our country’s history and interment ceremonies for former presidents.
