GLOBAL MUSIC KOERNER HALL MAZZOLENI CONCERT HALL TEMERTY THEATRE

WELCOME TO THE

Visionary philanthropists

Michael and Sonja Koerner have invested to create The Michael and Sonja Koerner Fund for Classical Programming, securing the future of classical music of the highest standards presented at Koerner Hall and other performance venues at The Royal Conservatory. We are grateful for the Koerners’ ongoing generous support of the RCM.

The Baillie Veil, generously supported by Charles and Marilyn Baillie, floats above Koerner Hall. Evoking a musical instrument, it has been internationally acclaimed for its extraordinary beauty as well as its acoustical excellence. The unique design creates a stunning sculptural display for audiences to enjoy and it has become a distinctive feature in many of The Royal Conservatory’s print and electronic materials, which feature stylized graphic representations of the magnificent Baillie Veil.
