OUR STORY
Artistic Excellence • Emotional Impact
The Dublin Silver Band is a group of professional-level musicians that volunteer their time and talent because of three things they all have in common: a drive to chase perfection, a genuine affection for each other, and a passion for making connections with audiences on an emotional level.
To make these connections, the band commits to performing far more than ordinary concerts, instead telling stories that engage the audience in the musical performance. It is this approach that has earned the band an international reputation.
Our Philosophy
"The Dublin Silver Band exists for the entertainment of our audiences, the enjoyment of our members, and the pride of our community."
Our first three priorities are musical excellence, programming innovation, and a positive member experience. We endeavor to measure our level of excellence against the very best brass bands in this country and around the world.
