For decades, the Orchestral Training Program has been a cornerstone of musical education at UofT, inspiring similar initiatives nationwide. Students receive studio instruction from principal players of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company Orchestra, and other top-tier professional ensembles, forming vital educational collaborations. Our performance groups encompass the University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra (UTSO), Chamber Orchestra (UTCO), Wind Ensemble (UTWE), and Wind Symphony (UTWS). The program also features specialized ensembles like the Collegium Musicum for Early Music and the gamUT Contemporary Ensemble for Modern Music. Beyond large ensembles, we offer an extensive chamber music curriculum covering solo repertoire with piano, instrument-specific groups, and diverse ensembles ranging from piano trios and string quartets to brass quintets, woodwind quintets, and double-wind octets.
