The Admiralty Navy Band of the Leningrad Naval Base (Russian: Адмиралтейский оркестр Ленинградской военно-морской базы) is a Russian military band based in Saint Petersburg. It was founded early in the 18th century about the same time as the Russian Navy itself. The band's chief conductor and director of music is Captain 3rd rank Valentin Lyashenko, who leads the band under the instruction of the Military Band Service of the Armed Forces of Russia.
The band has toured Europe and performed for visiting heads of state. It has also had a number of guest conductors, both military and civilian. William Malambri, a music professor at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina, U.S.A., served as guest conductor of the Admiralty Navy Band for a concert in 2004 at Shostakovich Hall.[1]
