The Royal Conservatory of Music (The Royal Conservatory of Music) is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the largest and oldest music school in Canada. Edward Fisher founded the school in 1886 and named it the Toronto Conservatory of Music. In 1947, King George VI of the United Kingdom granted the Conservatoire a royal charter. The School of Music was affiliated with the University of Toronto until 1991 and has since become a fully independent institution. Her campus (formerly known as McMaster Hall, now renamed Ihnatowycz Hall) was the original site of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. The School of Music is currently undergoing a major expansion program - the TELUS Performance Learning Center includes a new 1,140-seat concert hall, expected to open in 2007. Expansion plans have resulted in the temporary relocation of the Conservatoire to 90 Croatia Street in the Dufferin and Bloor West areas.
