Ensembles

Ensembles program at the University of Toronto has for many years enriched the musical lives of our students and has provided alternative perspectives on learning and making music by offering training in various world traditions. The ensembles vary from year to year. We have also in the past been able to take advantage of an ensemble led by our an annual visitor in the World Music Artist-in-Residence program. We hope to do so again in the future.

Undergraduate students can sign up for these courses under the course codes WME264/364, 268/368, etc.

Graduate Students may take one half-credit (0.5) in Ensembles towards their degree under the course number MUS4608H. To complete the credit, students must enrol and participate satisfactorily in two ensembles (taken either concurrently or in different terms) and must complete an associated analytical assignment. Students seeking this credit will consult with a member of the ethnomusicology faculty to establish the nature of the analytical assignment and a timeline for its completion.

Ensemble Concerts

Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, public events have been cancelled until further notice.

Our Ensemble Directors

Currently, Taiko and Klezmer ensembles are running in person, with scaled-down participation. The Gospel group is meeting virtually. Further updates will be given in due course.
