Department of Performance
The Department offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs leading to the B.Mus. and M.Mus., and diploma programs leading to the L.Mus. and Artist Diploma in all areas of musical performance. Programs include regular practical instruction available on all instruments and a highly developed ensemble program. The programs offer a number of major options including Orchestral Training, Solo, Jazz, and Early Music. The Orchestral Training program is the largest performance program – many of its graduates are now members of professional orchestras throughout North America and Europe. McGill ensembles perform many concerts each year, including a number in centres across North America. (Within the past several years, McGill ensembles have performed at Carnegie Hall, Le Grand Théâtre [Quebec], the National Arts Centre, the International Buxtehude-Scheidt Festival, Lincoln Center, Roy Thomson Hall, Salle Wilfrid Pelletier, the International Association of Jazz Educators Convention in New Orleans, in Washington and Boston, Paris, London and Cork [Ireland], and at the Holetown Festival in Barbados.) In addition, they have recorded for McGill Records. These recordings have received considerable critical acclaim and a number of awards, including a Noah Greenberg Award, three Grand Prix du Disques, and a Juno Award.
Performance Specialization is available in: Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Viola da Gamba, Guitar, Harp, Recorder, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone, Bassoon, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Percussion, Piano, Organ, Harpsichord, Voice, Baroque Instruments (Violin, Viola, Cello, Flute, Oboe, Bassoon).
