From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music is part of Baldwin-Wallace College which is located in Berea, Ohio. The main building, Kulas Hall, is located at 96 Front Street. The Conservatory is home to the oldest collegiate Bach Festival in the nation.
The conservatory was founded in 1898 by Dr. Albert Riemenschneider. Before this time, music classes were offered at the Baldwin Institute for one dollar extra per term. In 1912, land donated by the citizens of Berea was used to expand the institution and improve the facilities for music. The Fanny Nast Gamble Auditorium was constructed, housing a $25,000 pipe organ.
The Ferne Patterson Jones Music Library is located at 49 Seminary Street in Berea. The library contains nearly 40,000 items, including approximately 13,000 volumes of printed music.
