Conservatoire de Musique de Genève
Conservatoire de Musique de Genève, Music school in Place Neuve, Geneva, Switzerland
The Conservatoire de Musique de Genève is a music school on Place Neuve that offers instruction for students from age six through courses in woodwinds, choir, and string instruments. The building itself dates from the 19th century and is recognized as a property of national cultural importance.
The school was founded in 1835 and moved to its present building in 1858, designed by Jean-Baptiste Lesueur. It was the first music conservatory of its kind in Switzerland and has played a central role in musical education in the country ever since.
The Franz Liszt Hall inside the building hosts regular concerts where students and professional musicians perform classical and contemporary works. These performances are woven into Geneva's cultural life and show the artistic work happening at the school.
Visitors can reach the school easily by trams 12, 17, 18 or buses 3, 5, 20, 36, with the nearest stop at Place de Neuve. Parking is available nearby at Uni-Dufour and the location is walkable from the city center.
The institution divides its training into two distinct sections: a general music school and a higher conservatory for advanced professional studies. This two-part structure allows it to serve both beginners and future professional musicians.
