Catherine Thornhill-Steele Visiting Artists
Made possible by the vision and generosity of Seymour Schulich, the Catherine Thornhill Steele Chair in Music was established in 2006. Used each year to invite leading artists to perform and teach at the Schulich School of Music, former guests have included Andrew Dawes, Anton Kuerti, Jens Lindemann and many others. In past years, the Catherine Thornhill-Steele Chair has supported guest artists in woodwinds, brass, early music, jazz and contemporary music.
