The U.S. Navy Band Sea Chanters

The U.S. Navy Band Sea Chanters chorus performs a variety of music including traditional choral music, sea chanteys, patriotic fare, opera, Broadway and contemporary music. The chorus is frequently found at the center of our most important national events. They have played a vital role in comforting the nation in times of mourning, including appearances at memorials for the astronauts of the space shuttle Columbia, the presidential wreath laying ceremonies at the United Airlines flight 93 crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania and the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance at the National Cathedral in Washington after the events of 9/11. The chorus participated in the funerals for former Presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon. They have appeared at the Kennedy Center Honors and with the National Symphony Orchestra for the nationally televised National Memorial Day Concert at the U.S. Capitol. In addition, the group has appeared on Larry King Live, Fox & Friends and CBS This Morning, performed at the 2014 Super Bowl, as well as at the premiere of the movie “Pearl Harbor.” The Sea Chanters chorus has performed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir under the direction of Mack Wilburg, as well as noted choral directors Dale Warland and Donald Neuen, and has also performed with the Kansas City Symphony, the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Perry Como, Marian Anderson, Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie.
