The Royal Conservatory of Music has a western campus, the historic Cawthra-Adamson Estate in Mississauga, which is a wonderful location for music-making. Early summer sees the landscaped grounds transform into a verdant, Eden-like setting.

Here is a wonderful – if only too brief – sample of South Indian violin technique, performed rather spontaneously by my colleague, Subhadra Vijaykumar. She was kind enough to offer this demo of her subtle, evocative playing as her student awaited instruction.

Visit www.rcmusic.ca for information about a full range of World Music instruction, offered at both Mississauga and Toronto locations.
