Your gift helps bring exciting live brass performances and meaningful music education programs to our community.

The Buffalo Silver Band is proud to serve Western New York through performance, education, and community engagement.

Inspiring Performances
In addition to our concerts at the University at Buffalo’s Slee Hall, we present free performances in parks, churches, and community spaces across Western New York—featuring a vibrant mix of jazz, Broadway, and traditional brass band music.
Supporting Young Musicians
At a time when school music programs face increasing challenges, we provide valuable educational opportunities for students, including clinics, side-by-side concerts, and free admission for all students at our performances.
Scholarship Opportunities
We proudly sponsor an annual scholarship competition for talented, college-bound high school seniors.
A Community of Musicians
Our all-volunteer ensemble includes dedicated musicians from across Western New York, including active and retired music educators.
Your Impact Matters
While our musicians volunteer their time, your support helps cover essential costs such as venue rental, music, instruments, insurance, and scholarships.
