The Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) is a music school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was founded by Edward Fisher in 1886 as the Toronto Conservatory of Music. In 1947, George VI incorporated the Conservatory through royal charter.

History

McMaster Hall circa 1906

The Conservatory was founded in 1886 as The Toronto Conservatory of Music and officially opened in September of 1887, located on two floors above a music store at the corner of Dundas Street and Yonge Street. Its founder, Edward Fisher was a young organist born in the United States. It became the first institution of its kind in Canada: a school dedicated to the training of singers and musicians, and also to instilling a love of music in young children.

Its initial intake was just over 100 and by its second quarter this had grown to nearly 300 as its reputation quickly spread. In 1897 it purchased a new property at College Street and University Avenue to accomodate its rapid expansion. In 1896 it was affiliated with the University of Toronto with the purpose of preparing students for degree examinations.

Offering professional training, a national examination system and faculty of distinguished musicians, the Conservatory continued to grow and became one of the dominant musical institutions in Canada. Some of the country’s most famous musicians studied at the Conservatory. Glenn Gould studied theory, organ and piano, graduating at age 12 in 1946 with an ARCT diploma, with highest honours.

In 1947, George VI awarded the Conservatory its royal charter, in recognition of its status of one of the Commonwealth's greatest music schools. The Toronto Conservatory of Music became The Royal Conservatory of Music.

In 1962, the University of Toronto sold the Conservatory's College Street property to Ontario Hydro. The Conservatory relocated to 273 Bloor Street West in Toronto, the original site of McMaster University. The concert and recital halls of the College Street site were only partially replaced in the move. The library, residence and all three pipe organs were lost.

The Conservatory was affiliated with the University of Toronto until 1991, at which time it became a wholly-independent institution taking control of its building and diverse music programs. Dr Peter Simon was appointed President.

The Conservatory has currently embarked on a major expansion that includes the construction of the Telus Centre for Performance and Learning. Designed by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB), this new facility will feature academic and performance spaces, the acoustically sound 1,135-seat Koerner concert hall, studios and classrooms, a new-media centre and a library and rehearsal hall. During the renovations, the Conservatory temporarily relocated to the former location of Toronto District School Board's Ursula Franklin Academy, located in the Dufferin and Bloor West area but in September 2008 returned to a newly-renovated and expanded 273 Bloor Street West. Koerner Hall is scheduled to open in the fall of 2009.


The work of The Royal Conservatory of Music

The Conservatory is a non-profit organisation and offers a wide range of music and arts programs designed for people at all stages of their lives and learning. From its base in Toronto, the programs provide music and arts education to virtually every Canadian community, reaching around 500,000 people a year as it continues with its mandate of developing human potential through music and the arts. RCM's work is divided into seven distinct divisions.

Performance

Through its performance division, The Royal Conservatory aims to showcase the work of its own students as well as the very best jazz, world, pop and classical music acts from Canada and around the world in its own concert venues:

Named in honour of donors Michael and Sonja Koerner, Koerner Hall opens in September 2009 and has 1,135 seats. It was designed by KPMB Architects to achieve a world-class N1 acoustic rating. The design is based on the classical European shoe-box format and features two balcony tiers above the main orchestra level, and a third technical balcony. The space was carefully sculpted to provide optimal sightlines for everyone in the audience and the signature element of Koerner Hall is an acoustically transparent veil of twisting oak strings which forms the backdrop for the chorus at the first balcony level, then hovers over the stage below the fixed acoustic canopy, extending into and over the hall at the technical balcony level. Completion of the project also includes three tiers of glass fronted lobbies overlooking Philosopher’s Walk, back-of-house areas for performers, the café at the ground floor level, and installation of a unique collection of antique musical instruments donated by the Koerner family and valued at $1 million. Each level is also equipped to host a variety of private functions.

The Royal Conservatory of Music’s original building, McMaster Hall, was renamed Ihnatowycz Hall in 2005, in reference to the contribution of alumni Ian Ihnatowycz and Dr. Marta Witer. The designation of this site as a heritage building required that the majority of the original materials and formal qualities be maintained, though building code oversaw some refurbishments. The original brickwork was maintained: decorative red brick, Medina sandstone, and polished granite. The imposing manner of the building demonstrates the prominent form of the building.
