The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, Her Honour, the Honourable Lois Mitchell was announced as an Honorary Patron of the Mount Royal University Conservatory on Sunday, March 3, 2019, in the Bella Concert Hall.

This endorsement from the Queen's representative in Alberta is in recognition of the high calibre of diverse music and speech arts education opportunities offered by the Conservatory to the local community.

"This is a remarkable distinction for our Conservatory, and for our entire University," said Brad Mahon, PhD, Director of the MRU Conservatory.

The announcement took place at the Wyatt Series concert featuring the Kolsimcha Quintet (visiting guest artists-in-residence) and the Calgary Youth Orchestra, one of the Conservatory's flagship ensembles. This is the latest accolade bestowed on the Conservatory, now celebrating its second century of arts instruction.

"It's my great pleasure to serve as Honorary Patron of the Mount Royal University Conservatory and to welcome everyone who takes part in its wonderful range of programs and concerts," said Mitchell. "The Conservatory is truly a place for everyone, with diverse offerings that reach out to music lovers of all ages, abilities, interests and walks of life."

The Mount Royal University Conservatory has played a key role in Calgary's performing arts scene since 1911, inspiring 10,000 registrants each year through a wide variety of programming, concerts and events.
