The Central Conservatory of Music is the national leading music school in
Beijing, China. Founded in 1950, the Conservatory offers courses to both
Chinese nationals and foreign students, and caters for all levels from
primary up to postgraduate programs. In recent years the Conservatory has
developed strong relationships with overseas institutions and individuals.
Foreign musicians and scholars are frequently invited to teach or offer
lectures at the Conservatory which, in turn, also sends its own faculty
members and students to other countries to pursue further studies, lecture,
or give performances.
