Program


The U.S. Army Strings, a premier ensemble of the U.S. Armed Forces, provides a musical backdrop for many of the country's most notable events. Its mission is to serve as musical ambassadors for high-level military and government events at home and abroad, as well as in concert for public audiences. The Soldiers who comprise this ensemble have been trained at the most prestigious music conservatories and universities in the country. This versatile ensemble performs as The U.S. Army Strolling Strings, in mixed chamber ensembles, and as The U.S. Army Orchestra.

The U.S. Army Strolling Strings is one of the most requested musical ensembles by our nation's military leadership. Since its inception during the Eisenhower administration, the group has provided musical entertainment at the White House for every president. Missions include performing for the Department of Defense, the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court, kings, queens, and heads of state from countries worldwide. The Strolling Strings offers audiences a unique perspective, being within the ensemble as Soldiers elegantly move about the venue, playing their instruments. The Strolling Strings offers a wide array of memorized repertoire, including patriotic, classical, international, jazz, Broadway, bluegrass, and exclusive music arrangements for special guests and events.
