The 2010-2011 season of Music at Tabaret wil soon be published right here.
The 2009-2010 season
Since 1969, the University of Ottawa School of Music contributes to the musical life of the national capital by presenting concerts by professors and guest artists. Over these forty years, seminal figures of the musical world, such as Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Boulez, have appeared on the Tabaret Hall stage, along with faculty members who pursue national and international careers as performers. The mission of a research university is to enrich the teaching we offer our students by the active and current practice of our disciplines. It is therefore in that spirit that I welcome you to our 40th anniversary concert series; a varied program of resident and guests artists awaits you.
