HIstory of the Schulich School of Music
Founded as the Conservatorium of Music in 1904, and incorporated as a Faculty in 1920, the School moved to its current location in the impressive and historic Strathcona Music Building (formerly the main section of Royal Victoria College) in 1972. It was renamed the Schulich School of Music in 2005 in honour of benefactor Seymour Schulich. During the 2004–2005 centennial season, the School added the eight-storey Elizabeth Wirth Music Building (so named after a generous benefactor in 2015) that houses the Marvin Duchow Music Library, Gertrude Whitley Performance Library, Tanna Schulich Hall, CIRMMT (the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology), the MMR (Multimedia Room), the Wirth Opera Studio, and administrative offices.
