Please show respect for today’s performers by silencing your cell phone, and staying for the entire recital so you can enjoy and support all our performers, not just your own child.

If you would prefer not to have your (or your child’s) photo shared online please let us know.

Accessibility: If you are in need of a fully ramped entrance to Convocation Hall, you can go in through Leatherdale Hall-there is an intercom at the outside door where you can be let in remotely without having a security guard stand there. From there, you’ll go through Leatherdale Hall, then take the elevator up to the second floor. There is a Handi-Transit stop across the street from Convocation Hall. An accessibility map can be viewed here. To request accommodations, please email info@mcma.ca or call 204-988-7650 upon signing up for the student recital.

We are thankful for the generous support of the Manitoba Arts Council and the Winnipeg Arts Council.
