Institutional philosophy
What is rooted in tradition belongs to the world.
The academy holds that an artistic tradition carries meaning beyond the place of its origin. Studied with rigour and performed in public, heritage instruments and the repertoire written for them can address any audience. This principle guides the academy’s teaching, ensembles, and participation in the cultural life of Canada.
