Music to our ears: Gift to McGill and UdeM creates hub for collaborative piano in Montreal

McGill University

After two years of health restrictions that have often left concert halls empty and musicians struggling, a generous donation from the Azrieli Foundation is helping to breathe new life into the world of elite music performance.

The Foundation's $2-million gift to McGill University and Université de Montreal (UdeM) has established a joint residency for high-level pianists who specialize in accompanying and coaching singers. Dubbed the McGill-UdeM Piano-Vocal Accompaniment Residency, this intensive nine-month program will give six emerging artists per year the opportunity to deepen their skills as collaborative pianists and vocal coaches.
