Don’t miss this unforgettable evening with The Navy Band Sea Chanters, the U.S. Navy’s premier chorus, performing a free concert at the Sanford Performign Arts Center at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 5.
Known for their impeccable harmonies, dynamic stage presence, and versatile repertoire, the Sea Chanters perform everything from traditional choral works and rousing patriotic anthems to sea chanteys, opera, Broadway showstoppers, and contemporary favorites. Based in Washington, D.C., the Sea Chanters perform for presidents, vice presidents, members of Congress, military leaders, and international dignitaries. They also inspire audiences nationwide on their acclaimed national tours. Formed in 1956 to preserve the songs of the sea, the ensemble has grown into one of America’s most celebrated choral groups—expanding their repertoire to embrace everything from Brahms to Broadway, and bringing a spirit of excellence and pride to every performance.
The evening promises music that honors tradition, celebrates our nation, and showcases the extraordinary talent of America’s sailors.
