The North Suburban Symphonic Band
The North Suburban Symphonic Band (NSSB), founded in 1992, is a community organization of approximately 75 volunteers who share a love of music and the desire to bring a variety of quality musical programming to the community. The NSSB is unique in the North Hills area, as it is a full symphonic band encompassing woodwinds, brass and percussion instruments. We welcome musicians of all abilities and ages, and encourage high school and college students to participate in the community band experience. The NSSB rehearses and performs at its concert venue, The Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center, located on Cemetery Lane in the North Hills.In addition, we are also unique in the Pittsburgh area in that we have a ‘Family of Bands’, which includes our core group the symphonic band, and four ensemble groups (brass, woodwinds, jazz and Dixieland) that perform in numerous and diverse venues throughout the year.
