The Winnipeg Chapter
donated the Royal Conservatory of Music Alumni Association Winnipeg
Chapter Trophy to the Winnipeg Music Festival in 1957. This Trophy is
awarded annually for the most outstanding Solo Piano performance, Grades 5 - Honours,
during the Festival.
The alumni membership consisted of Associate of Music graduates of the
Royal Conservatory of Music. They offered performance opportunities for
the students of their members, and the opportunity to vie for
scholarships and awards. Royal Conservatory Associate graduates were
honoured at an annual recital.
Workshops provided opportunities for members to continue their musical education and members met regularly to share ideas, discuss information from the Conservatory, and to promote a spirit of mutual helpfulness.
