The Virginia Grand Military Band provides Sousa-style concert band performances throughout the year. Conductor Loras Schissel engages the audience with interesting musical programming in the style of John Philip Sousa concerts, along with wonderful stories about the music from the information he has gathered as a curator in the music department of the Library of Congress.
These concerts are full of memorable melodies, concert masterworks, energizing marches, all infused with a sense of patriotic Americana. Bring the whole family and enjoy an afternoon with some of Washington DC’s finest musicians!
