Conservatório Dramático e Musical de São Paulo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Conservatório Dramático e Musical de São Paulo (Musical and Dramatic Conservatory of São Paulo) is a college for students of music in São Paulo, Brazil.
The Conservatory was founded on February 15, 1906, and inaugurated officially on March 12 of that year. In 1909 it moved to its present location on Avenida São João, downtown. Between 1981 and 1983 the building was extensively renovated.
A small school, one of many post-secondary music schools in São Paulo, the Conservatory is known chiefly for its impressive library of musical and dramatic scholarship, and its most famous alumnus, poet and musicologist Mário de Andrade, who studied piano there and taught there for much of his life.
