Faculty of Music Campaign Priorities & Philanthropic Opportunities

As the Faculty of Music enters its second century, a new level of achievement is envisioned – becoming a truly global leader in research, composition and performance. The Faculty of Music will accomplish this through internationalizing our student body, strengthening our interdisciplinary research and impact and community outreach, and undertaking essential upgrades to our infrastructure. The Faculty of Music presents an array of projects and unique opportunities for donors and partners to help elevate the Faculty’s global stature by providing private funding for its top strategic priorities.

Attracting Global Student Enrolment

To be a truly global music school, we need to ensure we have the resources needed to compete for the best students from around the world.The academic world of music research, training and performance is highly competitive, and top institutions in the U.S., Europe and Asia actively seek out the most promising and talented students both at home and internationally. To ensure we can contend for the same talent, the Faculty of Music needs to build a robust endowment to support competitive scholarships. We also need a fully staffed international recruitment office that can proactively seek out the international scholars, composers and performers who truly represent the future of our field and will, in turn, raise the global stature of the institution that trained them. Our goal over the next decade is to increase our intake of international graduate students.

Deepening our interdisciplinary partnerships

The Faculty of Music has numerous active partnerships within the University, including collaborations with research units in the humanities, education, business, law and medicine. To further cultivate these interdisciplinary projects and programs, we seek funding dedicated to innovation, and dedicated champions to lead new areas of interdisciplinary scholarship such as a Chair in World Music and Ethnomusicology, and a Chair in Music and Health.

Revitalizing our World-Class Venues

To attract the best students and cultivate our interdisciplinary strengths, we need to bring our infrastructure into the 21st century. Most of the Faculty of Music’s infrastructure was built more than 50 years ago. While these spaces have served our students and faculty admirably, we have outgrown our physical plant in many ways. Capital revitalization will focus on four areas: Walter Hall, MacMillan Theatre and Opera, the Music Library and the new Jay Telfer Forum.

Advancement at the University of Toronto

The Division of University Advancement (DUA) promotes and supports the University of Toronto by engaging a worldwide community of more than 640,000 alumni, plus many donors and friends.
