Desautels Faculty of Music Presents Dream Big

The Dream Big conference happens on  February 22-24, 2024 at the University of Manitoba and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the world’s first museum dedicated to human rights.  Inspired by this partnership, the repertoire to be performed and studied will be music composed as a response to trauma or as a call to action. 

Our inspiring guests include the musical trailblazers Jean Barr and Margo Garrett and keynote speakers Dr. Jillian Horton and Shelagh Rogers.

Join us in Winnipeg as together we explore the power of music!
