About Mary-Margaret Webb

Mary-Margaret Webb was a musician and philanthropist whose legacy of supporting Toronto music and arts organizations cannot be underestimated. After graduating with an Arts degree from the University of Toronto, and piano and theory certificates from the Toronto Conservatory of Music, she taught briefly on the faculty of the Hambourg Conservatory, then joined the Royal Conservatory of Music, specializing in the beginning and intermediate students. In 1979, the Conservatory distinguished her with a Certificate of Appreciation.  

Her legacy lives on through the Mary-Margaret Webb Foundation, which focuses on assisting progressive Toronto music and arts organizations.
