Wollongong Conservatorium of Music is a centre for music education and performance serving the city of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. It is located in the English Tudor style Gleniffer Brae Manor House and grounds, part of the Wollongong Botanic Gardens in the suburb of Keiraville. Andrew Snell became director of the Conservatorium in May 2008. It is currently on the Register of Cultural Organisations (ROCO), as listed by the Australian Government. ==History== The Conservatorium was first established on 11 September 1972 as a Wollongong branch of the then New South Wales State Conservatorium of Music, with James Powell as first Hon. Principal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NSW Legislative Council — Heritage Bill — Teacher Housing Bill )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sydney Conservatorium of Music Handbook 1995 )〕 The Conservatorium moved its operations to Glennifer Brae in a ceremony marked on 2 June 1980 by then Premier of NSW Neville Wran.〔 Later, the Conservatorium split from its parent organisation, and instead became affiliated with the University of Wollongong, becoming known as the University Conservatorium of Music.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=University of Wollongong Campus News )〕 In 1996, the Conservatorium split from the University and became incorporated as the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 The Conservatorium commissioned a composition from John Spence in 2004 in order to "mark the launch of a new cultural identity for the steel city." The composition was titled ''Wollongong Overture''. In 2005, the Conservatorium began to consider cutting courses because of the decreased funding it was receiving from the government. The principal of the Conservatorium, Graham Drayton, stated that they were "owed about $45,000 in overdue fees". The Gleniffer Brae property was being considered for sale by the Wollongong City Council in May 2010, though no decision was made and the status of the property has sat in limbo since the consideration was announced. The Conservatorium was reassured that it would "be allowed to stay on as a tenant" in the case of a sale. The University of Wollongong has "expressed an interest in possibly using Gleniffer Brae for creative arts." On 9 June 2012, the Conservatorium celebrated its 40th anniversary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wollongong Conservatorium of Music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
