Dear fellow horn players,
The Université de Montréal is a French-language public research university and one of Canada’s largest educational institutions. It has been around for more than 135 years, and we are looking forward to calling its Faculty of Music and the Salle Claude-Champagne home next summer for the 55th International Horn Symposium.
Founded on October 18, 1950, the Faculty of Music is recognized as the largest francophone educational establishment for music in North America. Its fame has traveled far beyond the borders of the continent thanks to the remarkable achievements of its teachers, its student community, and its graduates.
Promoting a variety of approaches and interchanges among disciplines in a spirit of collaboration, the Faculty offers students innovative programs which allow them to develop in the professional environment of today, to enjoy the career to which they aspire, and to heighten their impact in the world.
With its vast network of prestigious international partners, the Faculty is a setting for ground-breaking creation and research. Its teaching staff, which brings together performers, composers, and musicologists, along with recognized researchers, cultivates two essential qualities: the readiness to offer students personalized guidance, and an eagerness to involve them in research projects and outreach activities.
A stimulating learning environment where individuals, traditions, and styles all enrich one another, the Faculty also plays host to a number of organizations-in-residence, including the École LUMI, the Canada Research Chair in Music and Politics, the Canada Research Chair in Opera Creation, research and creative-research laboratories, and the OICRM, a strategic cluster dedicated to the support of research.
A true spawning ground for talent, the Faculty showcases its students by presenting numerous events each year, notably at Salle Claude-Champagne, a crossroads for dissemination and creation at the heart of musical history in Québec.
We really hope to see you in Montréal this summer! Make sure you take advantage of the early bird promotion and register before April 1st to save!
