Michael Feinstein and the United States Marine Band Celebrate the Great American Songbook

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States, “The President’s Own” will collaborate with celebrated artist Michael Feinstein, the nation’s premiere expert in the history, interpretation and performance of the Great American Songbook.

Feinstein and Marine Band Director LtCol Ryan Nowlin have curated a program honoring America’s history with “standards” that are now part of the American soundtrack and national identity. The Marine Jazz Orchestra will perform alongside Feinstein, showcasing songs from Hollywood and the Broadway stage, to include songs by Irving Berlin and Ira and George Gershwin. 

The concert is free but tickets are required. Patrons may request up to two free tickets online at strathmore.org and in person at the Strathmore Ticket Office on a space-available basis beginning March 26. Tickets are valid until 3:45 p.m., at which time all tickets become null and void and any remaining seats will be filled with patrons in the stand-by queue.
