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 2024/25 season features brass repertoire gems, paired with new music played with the verve and virtuosity you expect from the Hannaford Band: “Brassology” on October 27 features Brandon Ridenour with guest conductor Patrick Sheridan; “A Holiday Serenade” is on Saturday, December 7 at the George Weston Recital Hall with the Amadeus Choir and Bach Children's Chorus; “War and Art ” on Sunday, March 23 features Sarah Slean, and our season concludes on Sunday, May 11 with “Beyond Brass” – a collaboration with Michael Bridge, accordion and Ed Hanely, table with guest conductor Jean-Michele Malouf.

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 to participate in.
