Now in its 88th season, The Weston Silver Band (WSB) traces its continuous history back to 1921 when it was created as the Weston Boys Band. Under the baton of Music Director Larry Shields, the bands membership is made up of accomplished brass players from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and surrounding communities. Based in Weston, part of the City of Toronto, the band presents a series of concerts during the fall and winter season at Glenn Gould Studio and performs throughout the GTA and surrounding areas during the summer.
Through excellent artistic and educational performances for musicians and communities, the WSB actively seeks to promote the brass band tradition as an important part of the cultural heritage of this province as well as a dynamic and unique voice for contemporary composers and arrangers.
