Conservatoire in Luxembourg City, southern Luxembourg
Conservatoire de Musique de la Ville de Luxembourg
The Conservatoire de Luxembourg is a conservatoire in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The conservatoire was founded in 1906, after a private donation made possible its establishment, which had been mandated under a Grand Ducal decree issued in 1904.[1] The conservatoire currently has over 2,600 students, from 60 countries, studying over 5,000 courses in total.[1]
It is located on Campus Geesseknäppchen, along with several other educational institutions; most of the campus lies in Hollerich, but the western part, in which the Conservatoire is located, is in Merlquarter.[2]
The need for a new building emerged in the 1970s as a result of increasing demand. The foundation stone for the building on rue Charles Martel was laid on 19 June 1981, leading to the building's inauguration in 1984.[3] There is a Westenfelder organ in the conservatoire's grand auditorium, the first concert hall organ in Luxembourg.[4][5] The auditorium's excellent acoustics have attracted a wide range of performing artists including Bernard Haitink, Mstislav Rostropovich, Martha Argerich, Felicity Lott and Lazar Berman.[6]
The conservatoire also houses a museum of early instruments, a specialist library, a music library and a large archive of musical works.[6]
