Read Profile

The Hannaford Street Silver Band is Canada’s award-winning professional brass band and resident company of Toronto’s St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. Its mission is to honour the traditions of this art form and place it in a contemporary context with a unique, Canadian point-of-view. We actively facilitate innovative creative projects and collaborate with the best of Canada’s diverse artists.

Our 2022/23 season features brass repertoire gems, paired with new music played with the verve and virtuosity you expect from the Hannaford Band: “Love Songs and other optimistic notions” on October 30 features Barbara Assiginaak with guest conductor Jean-Michel Malouf; “A Harmonious Holiday” is on Tuesday, December 6th at Metropolitan United Church with Forte, the Toronto Gay Men’s Chorus; “Dearly, Life, Love and Margaret Atwood” on Sunday, February 12 features Measha Brueggergosm-Lee, and our season concludes on Saturday May 13th with “A Concert of Community” - the marquee event of the Great Canadian Brass Band Festival.

The HSSB demonstrates its commitment to youth, outreach and education by running the Hannaford Youth Program. This vibrant program is a fantastic opportunity for brass and percussion players ages 7 to 24.
