Hello all -
Please see the attached file for a revised chart of dates available in DCH for student recitals. We had inadvertently left some holidays on the original list: Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Victoria Day have now been removed since the university will be closed. Please disregard the previously distributed file.

Dear 4th Year B.Mus. Performance and B. Jazz Students, Post-Bacc Students, and M.Mus. Students -
I am very pleased to announce that beginning in the 2025-26 academic year, all 4th year undergraduate (BMus and B.Jazz), post-baccalaureate, and graduate performance recitals are able to take place in the Desautels Concert Hall. No venue rental fee will be charged for the use of the concert hall beyond the usual $100 recital fee.
Note that there is limited availability in the hall, though a selection of dates in March, April, and May have been reserved for student recitals and a procedure for booking dates will be communicated with you in the coming weeks. Available spring dates will be released in October; jazz students should have thought through their instrumentation by October, so that personnel is known in time for booking recital dates. There will likely be multiple recitals scheduled on a single date to accommodate everyone. Graduate students and all others needing to present a recital outside the March-May period will be able to do so in the Concert Hall as well, scheduled dependent on hall availability. Students continue to have the option of performing in other on-campus venues should you wish, as in previous years.
To assist us with planning, please send a quick email ASAP to Karly Eppmailto:Karly.Epp@umanitoba.ca (B.Jazz students), Allen Harringtonmailto:Allen.Harrington@umanitoba.ca (B.Mus students), or Amanda Wiebemailto:Amanda.Wiebe@umanitoba.ca (Post-Bacc and Master's students) to indicate in which venue you intend to perform. We will be back in touch with further details in the coming weeks.
I look forward to your performances over the course of the upcoming academic year, and hope that many of you will take advantage of the experience of performing in the Desautels Concert Hall.
Best wishes for the year ahead,
Stephen Runge, D.Mus. Dean, Desautels Faculty of Music Director, School of Art
