In a rapidly changing world, music remains one of the most fundamental and adaptable forms of human expression. Aspiring musicians need an environment where their talents can be supported with generous scholarship and bursary assistance, expert instruction, and abundant opportunities for performance and study.

Founded on excellence, innovation, tradition, and opportunity, the Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music provides such an environment! Furthermore, the Faculty is comprised of an exceptional group of performers, composers, conductors, and scholars who are internationally renowned in their fields, and combine their expertise with a passion for teaching. As a result, our students excel, and our graduates have distinguished themselves in many music and music-related professions.

Recently named a Cultural Capital, Winnipeg enriches the lives of our students with numerous world-class events throughout the year.

If you are looking for a Faculty in which to grow and thrive in one of Canada’s most culturally vibrant cities, I invite you to explore our website further!
