19TH CENTURY BRASS BAND
Dodworth Saxhorn Band
The Dodworth Saxhorn Band is a recreation of one of America’s first all-brass bands. The original Dodworth Band dominated the New York music scene from 1836 to 1891. Today, Ann Arbor’s own Dodworth Saxhorn Band, composed of up to 17 members, performs period music in 19th century attire using antique brass valved horns and drums built in the 1800’s. They also use drama, poetry, dance, and audience participation to help bring America’s musical past to life.
