Here at The Rome Free Academy

The United States Military Academy Concert Band is a direct descendant of the small Band of Musick that had assembled at West Point by 1817. The modest twenty-piece military band of that era has evolved into the 43-member symphonic band of today.

Over the years, the Concert Band has earned the reputation of being among the finest of its kind in the world. The band’s events annually attract thousands of visitors to the academy to hear the finest in new and traditional concert band literature. The Concert Band has a history marked with several world-class performances and close associations with renowned composers.

The performance is open to the public and free of charge.
