“The President’s Own” United States Marine Band has announced it is rehearsing a specially created transcription of Adolphus Hailstork's Fanfare On Amazing Grace for performance as part of the Pre Ceremony music showcased at  The Biden-Harris Inauguration on January 20th, 2021

Adolphus Hailstork is one of the country’s leading composers.  This performance announcement is historic as it is only the second time in American history that music by a contemporary African American composer has been selected to be part of the repertoire performed at a Presidential Inauguration.
