[edit] History
The Norwegian Academy of Music was established in 1973. The current Academy is a result of a fusion with the former Østlandets musikkonservatorium in 1996.
The request for a governemental institution for music education goes back to the 19th century. In 1883 Ludvig Mathias Lindeman (father) and Peter Lindeman (son) started the so-called "School for Organists" in Kristiania (former name for Oslo). It developed to becom the first and biggest conservatory of music in Norway, and made an important foundation for the Norwegian Academy of Music. The Lindeman conservatory was --- in 1973. To honor the memory of the Lindeman family the biggest concert hall at the Academy is named the Lindeman Hall, which has a capacity of more than 400 people.
