Thank you to our Champions
The late Dr. Marcel Desautels, for whom the concert hall is named, played a leading role in making this project a reality when he made a generous $20 million gift to the faculty, designating $10 million specifically for a new concert hall.
Other generous donors followed his lead. Dr. Michael F.B. Nesbitt and Dr. Gail Asper each made a gift of $2.5 million to the hall. William Loewen and family made a financial donation so the Desautels Faculty of Music could purchase a grand piano for the Hall.
Thank you to the many talented administrators, staff and faculty members, past and present, who helped to make this dream a reality.
