Municipal Conservatory of Barcelona

The Municipal Conservatory of Barcelona (Catalan: Conservatori Municipal de Música de Barcelona, IPA: [kunsəɾβəˈtɔɾi munisiˈpal də ˈmuzikə ðə βəɾsəˈlonə]) is a teaching institution, which is devoted to music education.

During this period, contacts with other European conservatories were made, important musicians from all Europe were invited, and a new department for ancient music was created.

So that the students could perform concerts during their formation, the construction of an auditorium was envisaged, but Xavier Turull (who was appointed director in 1977) inaugurated it.

During this period, the students orchestra (conducted by Edmon Colomer) had a certain stability, the Music Museum was moved to the Quadras house, and the first steps in order to create the Library of the Conservatory were made.

He resigned in 1982 due to disagreements with the City Hall, and first Maria Cateura and afterwards ca:Marçal Gols succeeded him.

Since then, the Conservatory has adapted its task to the new situation, inside the Municipal Institute of Education of Barcelona.
