The musicians of Newberry's Victorian Cornet Band are a group of dedicated professional and semi-professional brass, reed and percussion players who have spent a great deal of time studying 19th-century band music and playing instruments that were built between 1870-1900. A performance by NVCB is as close to that of a late 19th-century professional touring band as possible today. The configuration of the band reflects the flexibility of the times. Performances range from as few as 9 brass players to a full-sized band of over 30 wind, brass and percussion players. The usual touring group, however, consists of 17 reed, brass, and percussion players. Michael O'Connor - Artistic Director, Bb BaritoneElisa Koehler - Stage Director, Solo Bb Cornet Christine
