Schulich School of Music of McGill University | 2025-2026 Season Brochure
Welcome to the Schulich School of Music’s 2025–2026 season. This year of concerts and special events is a celebration of what lies ahead. There is so much to look forward to!
In rehearsal rooms, classrooms, and onstage, we continue to imagine the future of music through concerts, lectures, competitions, and special events you’ll want to mark in your calendar.
While Pollack Hall is still under renovation, our other stages—Tanna Schulich Hall, Redpath Hall, Clara Lichtenstein Hall, and the Multimedia Room—will resonate with more than 600 events this season. Beyond our walls, Schulich musicians will fill historic churches and beloved venues across the city, carrying music into every corner of Montreal.
This season marks 20 years since the faculty of music became the Schulich School of Music. With pride in who we are, and who we will be, we are grateful for this milestone donation. It is through the generosity of our community that we become more than a school. We're an ensemble: students, researchers, performers, faculty, staff, alumni, and distinguished guests working in harmony to bring music to life.
As always, you can look forward to performances that span centuries and styles. The Contemporary Music Ensemble honours alcides lanza, while the McGill Symphony Orchestra brings the power of Mahler’s Seventh Symphony to Église Saint-JeanBaptiste and later joins the McGill Choirs at Maison symphonique for works by Dvoř ák, Farrenc, and Saint-Saëns. Opera McGill returns to the Segal Centre, Monument-National, and Théâtre Paradoxe with a season of Rossini, Mozart, Britten, and Handel, while the Baroque Orchestra and Cappella Antica turn the spotlight on Vivaldi. Research Alive returns to offer fresh encounters between scholarship and performance, and throughout the season our jazz ensembles shine in performances that connect history, tradition, and innovation.
