The Dunbar Saxophone Quartet is an adult performing ensemble of the PWCB that can provide sophisticated music for any occasion in or near Prince William County.  With a library of over 280 selections published throughout the last 80 years, including classical transcriptions, jazz, swing, ragtime, folk, patriotic, pop oldies, and original compositions for sax quartet,  the DSQ can entertain audiences of all ages.  Whether you want Sentimental Journey, Maple Leaf Rag or Weddingday at Troldhaugen, the DSQ library is full of saxophone surprises.  The music of Scott Joplin is a DSQ specialty and classical music comprises one-third of the DSQ’s repertoire.  The DSQ’s Christmas music collection can support a full two-hour performance.

DSQ performances in 2002 included incidental music prior to the graduation ceremony for the School of Information Technology and Engineering at George Mason University, a Christmas concert at Manassas Mall, a selection for the Prince William County’s high school honor bands, chamber music for a wedding reception at the Officer’s Club at Fort Belvoir, incidental music prior to the Prince William County Literacy Volunteers Annual Recognition Dinner, and concerts at area retirement communities.  In the past the DSQ has also performed for library and church Christmas parties and a Manassas Museum fundraiser and open house.  The DSQ often performs at Prince William Community Band concerts, such as its October appearance at the Manassas Fall Jubilee.
