CONSERVATORY of MUSIC
Our Spaces
As the oldest music school in Alberta and one of the largest in Western Canada, the Conservatory of Music has been home to aspiring and professional musicians since 1903.
Located in MacEwan University’s historic Alberta College Campus, the Conservatory features ensemble rooms, individual studios and acoustically superior recital halls. Here, our students develop their talent in unparalleled performance settings.
Muttart Hall
Built in 1992, Muttart Hall is named after The Muttart Foundation, which sponsored the development of this premier Conservatory performance space. The Hall is also home to the Muttart Steinway, a magnificent 9-foot concert grand piano donated in recognition of the Foundation's 50th anniversary.
In 2018, to mark its 65th anniversary, MacEwan University's Conservatory of Music partnered with the Muttart Foundation to produce a series of concerts in Muttart Hall, which is named in memory of Gladys and Merrill Muttart for whom philanthropy was an important part of supporting the communities that had supported them. Throughout 2018, the Conservatory expanded its outreach music programs, created new partnerships with local communities and helped fund a concert series to celebrate the sapphire anniversary.
Recital Halls
The Conservatory boasts three recital venues—PCL Hall, Stollery Hall and Bryan Hall. In these venues, which seat 80 to 100 people, we host student concerts, music festivals, master classes, music workshops and more.
Ensemble Rooms
Sometimes a smaller space is needed for a musical event or rehearsal space. Our six ensemble rooms seat 30 to 50 people.
Practice Rooms
Private music lesson students who pay the Conservatory of Music membership fee can access practice rooms. The rooms are not available for rent to the general public. For students who do have access, please refer to the practice room usage information.
Non-Music Bookings
For all non-music-related bookings, including Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) bookings, please contact Conference and Event Services by email: meet@macewan.ca
