Wind Band

Welcome to Silver Spectrum Wind Band

Silver Spectrum Wind Orchestra is an adult ensemble based in Walkley, Sheffield .

It was originally formed in the summer of 2005, to give former members of Sheffield Music Services an outlet to perform following the completion of full time education. However, in recent years the band has established itself within the wider community and now has a much wider age range. Older players were encouraged to become members to provide the band with a greater range of abilities and experience.

The band now has around 45 regular members with ages ranging from 18-75.

A wide range of music, including Classical, Film, Swing, Jazz and Contemporary pieces by composers such a Gustav Holst, John Williams, Duke Ellington and Philip Sparke are performed at a variety of venues.

At the moment the band is booked to perform at five concerts, and will be entering the National Concert Band Festival in Rochdale .
