Regina Lions Band Makes Music Donation to U of R

University new home to a large music library

It’s time to break out the band. The Regina Lions Band is handing off one of the province’s largest music libraries to the Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Music. The gift is part of a larger donation by the Regina Lions Band to the Building Dreams and Futures campaign at the University of Regina.

Worth over $460,000, the donation includes the extensive music collection, including 6, 397 titles, some of which are limited edition scores as well as out of print music and one of a kind marching shows. Musical instruments and other equipment, such as chairs and music stands will go to the Centre for Continuing Education, Conservatory of Performing Arts. 

“The Regina Lions Band is proud to donate our music library to the University of Regina, as the University has the best resources to house the library and be its curator, preserving its history and ensuring that it will be available to future generations of Regina and Saskatchewan musicians,” says Regina Lions Band Past President, Susan Hardy.

“This gift to the Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Music, and the Centre for Continuing Education, Conservatory of Performing Arts will help our students develop their talents, pursue their dreams, and showcase their fine education,” said University of Regina President and Vice-Chancellor Jim Tomkins. “Generous donations in support of the Building Dreams and Futures campaign priorities help us attract the best and brightest students to our University.”

The Regina Lions Band organization has provided and continues to provide a first class musical education that has enriched the lives of thousands of young people for over sixty years.
