By endowing or helping to endow a chair, you will ensure the Conservatorium can sit squarely on the international stage as a global centre of excellence in music education and research.

The Conservatorium would like to offer permanent support to a professorial chair in each of the teaching and research units – strings, piano, vocal and operatic studies, percussion, woodwind, brass, jazz studies, piano accompaniment, musicology, historical performance and composition – integrating them through cross-disciplinary links in performance and research.

Cost

The current cost of endowing a professorial chair is $5 million. Each year, 4.5 percent of the principal fund is made available to support the activities of the chair. Annual earnings above 4.5 percent are reinvested to maintain the fund’s value in real terms after inflation.

Bequests enhance our most exciting work and develop the talents of our gifted students.

The Conservatorium accepts legacies and bequests in any of these forms:

• residuary of an estate
• percentage of an estate
• specific sum of money
• particular asset such as real estate, works of art, shares, or an insurance policy.
