Conservatorio Jesús Guridi is a music academy based in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.[1] It is called Jesús Guridi due to the famous Basque musician who was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Vitoria, Spain, 25 September 1886 – Madrid, 7 April 1961).


History

The Vitoria-Gasteiz city council built the municipal music academy in 1928. It was officially recognised by The General Direction of the Fine Arts department in 1935. In 1980, Carmelo A.Bernaola, a well-known melodist, was appointed as Director. A new building was commenced to house the music academy, which was completed in 1984. The Advanced Degree was recognised in 1990. Six years later the academy changed its name from Escuela Superior de Música (Advanced music school) to Conservatorio Superior de Música (Advanced music conservatory).During the last few years due to the development of the conservatory, the Culture Ministry recognized all the effort by rewarding the music academy with a silver medal that represented the merit of fine arts.
