Situated in von Kuster Hall and Moscovich Recital Hall respectively, recording studios at the Don Wright Faculty of Music provide streaming, audition, application, archival, and reference recordings to the Faculty. The studios are capable of making high quality digital recordings in the main performance halls and other appropriately equipped rehearsal spaces. In addition, the studios maintain a good inventory of microphones, video equipment, editing capability and a separate mobile component that supports off-site Faculty of Music performances. The Faculty also maintains recording and streaming capabilities in Paul Davenport Theatre.

Recording Policy

The following concert categories will be recorded for archive, and without needing a request in advance:

  • credit recitals
  • guest artist performances
  • faculty member performances
  • large ensembles
  • chamber groups
  • opera
  • electroacoustic and student composer performances

Other events, such as studio recitals, must be requested in advance.

Recordings are retained in the archive and made available as appropriate. Other recording projects are also undertaken; requests can be made to mgodwin@uwo.ca or 519-661-2111 x85390.

Requests for any of the recordings should be submitted to MB123 using the pdf-icon.jpgRequest for Recording Form. Completed forms can be emailed to music-tech@uwo.ca or printed and submitted to MB123. A fee will typically apply. In most cases, dubs will be available approximately five working days after being requested.

Application and Audition Recording Sessions

There are recording times on Tuesday afternoons set aside in von Kuster Hall to accommodate sessions on a first-come, first-served basis. Enquires should be directed to mgodwin@uwo.ca or 519-661-2111 x85390. We ask such requests be made as far in advance as possible. Allow five working days after a recording session for post production and dubbing/uploading of materials.

Opportunity for Employment

The studio provides an employment opportunity to students who qualify for the Work Study program. Eligible and selected students are then provided the opportunity to work with the studio team, learning and advancing their skills in sound recording technology, video capture and live production.

Equipment Loan

Recording equipment is available for sign-out to Faculty members and students for academic support purposes (e.g. video recording of auditions, rehearsals).
