St.Petersburg Admiralty navy band (Orchestra) The Admiralty navy band (a military music chorus of the Admiralty Battalion) was formed in 1711 by the order of Peter the Great.
Since the foundation the band had been the sightseeing of St.Petersburg carrying the time service on the Admiralty tower. In 1986 this tradition was restored: in summer in the Alexander garden on weekends.
Since 1985 the band has been under the guardiance of captain Alexei KARABANOV who is a Senior St.Petersburg Naval conductor at the same time.
The band takes part in all the official ceremonies of St.Petersburg Senior Naval Commander. It has concerts in the best concert halls of the city, reserving the musical traditions of the Russian Fleet.
