Córdoba Conservatory

The Conservatorio Superior de Música "Rafael Orozco" de Córdoba, better known in English as the Córdoba Conservatory, is a music conservatory in Córdoba, Spain.

It was founded by the city council of Cordoba in 1902 as the Música de la Escuela Provincial de Bellas Artes.

Composer Cipriano Martínez Rücker [es] served as the school's first director.

In 1922 it became the third music school in Spain to achieve a national status as a music conservatory at which point its name was changed to the Conservatorio Oficial de Música.

In 1996 the school was re-named again in honor of the Spanish concert pianist Rafael Orozco who had recently died and was an alumnus of the conservatory.
