Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber

The Hochschule opened on 1 February 1856 and is one of the oldest German conservatoires. Francesco Morlacchi, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner made reference to the necessity of establishing institutional training for musicians in Dresden. On 1 February 1856, a violinist of the Royal Orchestra, Friedrich Tröstler, founded the first music school in Dresden. In 1881 the title "royal" was granted, and it changed its name to "Royal Conservatoire", although it was a private institution. From 1881 till 1918 was an institution under royal patronage and from 1937 onwards under the municipal authority. The original building of the hochschule was destroyed during World War II and all teaching activities were moved to Mendelssohnalle 34. At first the university was an educational institution where the future instrumentalists of the town’s orchestra were trained. It became the Hochschule für Musik; named after Carl Maria von Weber in 1959.
All orchestral instruments, voice, piano, conducting, composition, music theory and accompaniment, as well as popular music/jazz/rock specialties can be studied at the College. There are also different courses about Instrumental and Voice Pedagogy and Teacher Training in Music.
