Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music
- Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music
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 Kulas Musical Arts Building was constructed, housing a $25,000 pipe organ. Later, the Conservatory would expand into an adjacent residence hall (Merner-Pfeiffer Hall) and an enclosed bridge was constructed connecting the two buildings.
The Ferne Patterson Jones Music Library is located in the basement of Merner-Pfeiffer Hall. The library contains nearly 40,000 items, including approximately 13,000 volumes of printed music.
Having outgrown its existing facilities, the Conservatory has embarked on a $20 million expansion and renovation project and in August 2008 acquired the adjacent First Congregational United Church of Christ building, which will be renovated to house conservatory programs and attached to Merner-Pfeiffer Hall via a new connecting structure.
