Annual Open House

Each fall we host an OPEN HOUSE - a chance for prospective students to come and see what the Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music is all about - we invite you to activities, classes, ensemble participation, masterclasses, information sessions, and more!

Our next official Open House is October 17 and 18, 2013; however, we welcome you to visit us anytime during the year to learn more about us, take in some concerts, or talk to our professors!
