A transformative naming opportunity for someone, a target for directed support from several individuals already.Opera Program Naming Opportunity Program Leadership SupportCelebrating its 50th anniversary season this past year, since its inception soon after WW IIUofT Opera has been Canada s pre-eminent university-based opera training program. Over the years UofT Opera has been the training ground for many of Canada s greatest singing, coaching, conducting, directing, and theatre design talent. Today our graduates continue to win major competitions and to move on to professional companies and young artist programs. UofT Opera: a legacy naming opportunity for some great philanthropist and a popular direction for support from our loyal annual donors.Chairs / Professorships in Support of Faculty LeadersMany Areas in performance, teaching, and research at UofT Music have outstanding potential and they need to attract and retain high-profile faculty in an increasingly global talent pool. Support for Faculty Leaders helps secure and sustain excellence.Student Support Graduate Fellowships, Undergraduate Scholarships, Program SupportAs part of the University of Toronto the Faculty of Music is committed to providing access and opportunity to the best and brightest students regardless of means. Graduate Fellowships are absolutely essential to attract the best national and international prospects. Though our students do quite well in securing limited available external research funding, we need major philanthropic support to provide graduate fellowships across all program areas at the master and doctoral levels. UofT Music has benefited from significant scholarship support (both endowed and annual) from many donors over several decades. But to remain competitive in a global context we need to be able to offer more substantial Undergraduate Scholarships and Graduate Fellowships, and to provide deeper Program Support to enhance student experience, notably to assistindividuals and ensembles with travel to competitions, conferences, master classes, international exchanges, and summer programs.Innovation Fund Dean s Discretionary FundIn additionto the Alumni Annual Fund, the Dean s Discretionary Fund provides resources to take advantage of opportunities as they arise: to provide seed money or start-up funding for a new course, program, or research project, to purchase instruments and technical equipment, to match other partnership sources. We hope to grow this fund substantially through direct funding and endowment.Help us make UofT Music s presence Boundless!ExperienceUofT Music.

The Dean immediately thanked them for their kind generosity and suggested that they might like to meet the beneficiary, the young student that their scholarship would support. They had the opportunity to meet her and to hear her graduating recital.At the end of four years the family was also invited to attend convocation. As the young student stepped up to receive her diploma, she also received, as was custom at that school, a single rose. She turned, crossed the stage, and handed her rose to the widowwho had made her graduation possible through that funded scholarship... a beautiful and graceful moment.Years later, that same family made another donation to the marching band drum corps at another school. On a particular game day, the drum corps met the donor in front of thefootball stadium gate, surrounded her and, without any words exchanged, performed a drum serenade salute for her and then peeled off into the stadium.When you are thinking about the power of philanthropy, particularly philanthropy in Music and performing arts:Never Forget the Rose to the Widow and the Drum Serenade.At UofT Music we share ourMoments Outcomesthrough our annualConcerts Events. Support Programs Imagine visiting a parent in a seniors home. Today he may be withdrawn, confused, and agitated, he may have lost the ability to communicate, perhaps even recognize you.
