Early Music at McGill University
Established in 1960 by Kenneth Gilbert, the Early Music Program at McGill University's Schulich School of Music offers a unique blend of individual lessons, ensemble training, and a deep dive into historical performance practices. Students engage in workshops, master classes, guest lectures, and research projects, enriching their musical education.
At the heart of the program is the annual production of a fully staged Baroque Opera, showcasing the students' talent and dedication. With access to a notable collection of early instruments and historical copies spanning from the 15th to the early 19th century, including harpsichords, organs, viols, and more, students immerse themselves in the rich sounds of bygone eras.
Undergraduate and graduate students alike benefit from a comprehensive curriculum, including programs such as the Bachelor of Music in Early Music and Voice, as well as the Master of Music in Early Music. Led by dedicated faculty members, including Professor Elizaveta Miller, the Early Music Area at McGill University offers a vibrant and immersive musical experience for aspiring musicians.
