Distance Learning International Master Class Series

Be a part of The Orto Center's annual series of international distance learning master class exchanges with peer institutions and master teachers around the world.

Since 1996, MSM Distance Learning has showcased collaborative HD videoconference master classes, programs, and coachings featuring distinguished MSM students, faculty members, and their artistic counterparts from around the world.

Students are invited to participate or attend to watch any upcoming master class in person. No need to sign up, but seating is limited and is given on a first-come-first-serve basis. Unless otherwise noted, all events will be held in the Orto Center’s primary distance learning venue, Myers Recital Hall.

Recordings of these master classes are made available to current MSM community members on MSM Mediaspace (MSM login required).

The upcoming 2024-25 season of master class offerings will be made available soon!

In the meantime, you can view the 2023-24 season below which included classes with master teachers from the National Arts Centre, Ottawa; Royal Danish Academy of Music; Conservatorium van Amsterdam; and many more!

“I was also amazed that he could hear very subtle changes in sound…which was helpful. The very high quality on both ends of the connection made quality learning and listening possible.”
