History
James Kippen established a group of "World Music Ensembles" at the University of Toronto Faculty of Music as a successor to his predecessor Timothy Rice's "Folk Music Ensemble." Starting with eight groups (later reduced to six due to financial necessity), Kippen recruited experts from Toronto's music communities to lead the ensembles. They included Kiyoshi Nagata's taiko ensemble and Kwasi Dunyo's West African drumming group, which continue today.
Other ensembles included the Balkan vocal ensemble, directed by Judith Cohen ; Tibetan ensemble, directed by Losang and Tashi Rabgey ; Japanese ensemble, directed by Sarah Peebles, Turkish ensemble, directed by Leslie Hall ; Latin American ensemble, directed by Rodrigo Chavez ; Celtic ensemble, directed by Andrea Budgey ; Macedonian folk ensemble, directed by Zivce Chesky Neceski ; Greek ensemble, directed by Katerina Papdolias ; Persian ensemble, directed by Ali Koushkani ; Balinese Gamelan ensemble, directed by Annette Sanger.
As of 2024, this group of ensembles is known as the "Global Music Ensembles."
