Since 1983, The Hannaford Street Silver Band, formed by professional musicians who love the Brass Band repertoire and ensemble playing, has been striking up the brass band tradition and stirring up critical and popular acclaim. 

They maintain a vigorous commissioning program featuring works for brass band by prominent Canadian composers.   “Heavy Metal,” their most recent recording is a six-pack of recently commissioned Canadian pieces.
   They’re heard regularly on radio and at numerous Festivals across Canada with distinguished guest conductors.   And in 1997 they were awarded a Lieutenant Governor’s Award for the Arts
