Read Profile

The Hannaford Street Silver Band is Canada’s award-winning professional brass band. Its mission is to honour the traditions of this art form and place them in a contemporary context with a unique Canadian point-of-view. Guided by the vision of artistic director David Pell, the band facilitates innovative creative projects and collaborates with the best of Canada’s diverse artists. Our 2021/22 season features concerts that showcase collaborations with artists such as Measha Brueggergosman and vocalist Suba Sankaran with Toronto’s amazing Indo-fusion band Autorickshaw. This season includes live and streamed concerts with both our 10-piece virtuoso ensemble and the full 27 member brass band.

The HSSB is committed to youth and music education through the vibrant Hannaford Youth Program. Directed by Anita McAlister, this program is a fantastic opportunity for brass and percussion players ages 7 to 24 to participate in three bands where they learn music, social and leadership skills.
