Conservatoire de Luxembourg
Conservatoire in Luxembourg City, southern 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 Merl quarter . [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]
