Cincinnati Conservatory of Music

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cincinnati Conservatory of Music was a conservatory, part of a girls' finishing school, founded in 1867 in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] It merged with the College of Music of Cincinnati in 1955, forming the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, which is now part of the University of Cincinnati.

The Conservatory, founded by Clara Bauer, was the first music school in Cincinnati.[2]
