Description: The Sea Chanters, the 19-voice chorus of The United States Navy Band in Washington, D.C., perform a variety of music ranging from traditional choral music, including the sea chantey, to Broadway musicals. Organized in 1956 as an all-male chorus specializing in songs of the sea, the group was named by Admiral Arleigh Burke, then Chief of Naval Operations. Female voices were added in 1980 and the chorus' repertoire expanded. The Sea Chanters marked their 45th anniversary in June 2001 with a concert and clinic featuring guest conductor Donald Neuen and the premiere of "Keeping the Ocean Free" by Roger Bourland and William MacDuff. The Sea Chanters, under the leadership of Senior Chief Musician Russell J. Rathier and musical director, Chief Musician Keith D. Hinton, appear throughout the United States, and often perform at the White House, Vice President's house and for Washington dignitaries. On Sunday, August 15, 2004 at 3 PM the Sea Chanters will perform at Ocean Pines (White Horse Park). This is a free concert but a free-will offering beneffiting the OceanPines Veterans Memorial is much appreciated.
