Season 112: A New Home!
The Buffalo Silver Band will be moving the series fomerly performed at Slee Hall to the Canisius University’s Montante Cultural Arts Center. The Montante Center, the former St. Vincent de Paul Church, is a registered Buffalo historic site. The original church is a rare example of Bystantine-Lombardic architecture. In 2000, Canisius transformed it into a beautful performance space with acoustic panels to reflect the sound that previoiusly escaped into its large dome. It still has not only the charm of the original building, but also the updated features of a modern performance hall. Well known groups such as the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and, of course, the Buffalo Silver Band have performed there.

Ghosties, ghoulies, goblins and wizards rule the night as the BSB ventures into the dark-side. The program includes Darroll Barry’s “Ghosts, Goblins, Witches, and Wizards” and Hans Zimmer’s “Angels and Demons” with a brief appearance by a “Mischievous Spirit.” At the October 17 Montante Concert, the BSB will premiere Samantha Hogan’s “There Be Dragons” a suite for oboe and brass band featuring Dr. Sara Hamilton as oboe soloist. This performance may be frightening, is definitely thought-provoking, and ultimately positively enjoyable. And never fear, there are heroes standing by to save the day! Free will Donation.
