ATHENS — The UGA Performing Arts Center invites audiences to step back in time and experience an authentic 19th century band concert with a performance by Saxton’s Cornet Band at 8 p.m. April 19 in Ramsey Concert Hall. Saxton’s Cornet Band recreates the sounds, appearance and conduct of brass bands during the antebellum and Civil War eras. The performances are well-researched and historically accurate recreations from the mid-1800s, complete with dramatic readings and period humor.
