The appointment will be for the 2007/8 academic year, September 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008. The salary will be as per the CUPE agreement (the September 2005 rate was $11,058 for a full course).

Working in conjunction with such performance groups as the Toronto Consort, Poculi Ludique Societas, Early Music Ensembles (at the Faculty of Music), Musicians in Ordinary, Early Music Consort, and others, the course co-ordinator will devise a series of 6 - 8 modules through the course of the academic year. Each module will focus on a particular performance, and through lectures and seminars in the weeks preceding and following the performance, students will study the context and significance of the particular musical work or theatrical production. The course co-ordinator will be responsible for course continuity and evaluation, but may also draw on guest lecturers from different disciplines, and perhaps from the performance groups themselves.
