In 1983, The Hannaford Street Silver Band was formed by professional musicians with a love of the brass band repertoire and a passion for ensemble playing. Since then, the HSSB has been reinvigorating the brass band tradition to critical and popular acclaim. Through its artistic excellence and ongoing advocacy of this art form, the HSSB has a local, provincial, national, and international impact. The Hannaford Youth Program has been an integral part of the organization for over twenty years. The program has woven itself into the very fabric of our community. There are no barriers to access, tuition is modest, and instruments are provided at no cost to participants. Hannaford Youth is continually nurturing a new generation of musicians, and community builders. Hannaford Brass Music Publishing began online operations in 2016 and is another example of the HSSB’s growing impact. A catalogue of Canadian compositions is now available to ensembles the world over.
