Hambourg Conservatory of Music

In 1913 the school relocated to 194 Wellesley St E at the corner of Sherbourne St. At that point in time the building's attic was transformed into a recital hall.

Boris Hambourg became sole director of the conservatory in 1920 when Jan moved to Europe to pursue a career as a concert violinist.

Boris's wife, the New Zealand born pianist Maria Bauchope, served as the business manager of the school.
