It plays more than 500 public and official performances annually, and its musicians appear at the White House more than 300 times each year, performing for State arrival ceremonies, dinners and receptions and accompanying famous entertainers. The group’s national tours began in 1891 under then-Director John Philip Sousa, who led the band for 12 years before launching his famous civilian band.

The wide-ranging program will include works by Sousa, Prokofiev, Mozart, Bernstein and other composers.
