international performance career, and through these activities be a

Music faculty are expected to serve on juries, university committees and

Symphony Orchestra, Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, and Royal Winnipeg
Ballet. The School of Music offers a full range of undergraduate
programs and selected graduate programs.  It has an established record
of achievement in teaching and performance with graduates performing and
