25th Anniversary Gala

The Toronto All Stars Steel Orchestra (TASSO) is not just a band; it is a vibrant community that has captivated audiences with the enchanting sound of Steelpan music for 25 years. Under the visionary leadership of Salmon Cupid, TASSO has transformed from a small alumni ensemble into an internationally acclaimed orchestra, showcasing the remarkable talents of over 480 young musicians since its inception, with a current membership of 50 talented individuals aged 8 to 18 from diverse backgrounds across the Greater Toronto Area.

TASSO embodies the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, with musicians representing many family, cultural, and learning backgrounds. This inclusive approach ensures that every child, regardless of their circumstances or abilities, has the opportunity to meaningfully participate in the transformative power of music.

TASSO has dazzled audiences at some of the finest music venues across Europe, including Vienna, Prague, Munich, and Salzburg, as well as in vibrant cities like Valencia, Barcelona, Rome, and Florence. The band’s international acclaim also includes celebrated performances at the Sydney Opera House and participation in the Toronto Raptors Championship Parade
in 2019.
