This is the home of the world famous Amati Conservatory.
“If music be the food of love, play on.” And the Amati Conservatory certainly is the food of music.
So what is the Amati Conservatory all about? You’ll see more in the coming weeks and months as we publish all the information you could ever require about the Amati Conservatory and conservatories in general. But here it is in brief.
In late 19th Century Turin, a highly skilled but little known artisan named Federico Del Giuliano Amati was working on the creation of a new kind of conservatory that would revolutionise the way conservatories were thought about during the following century. Amati’s unique approach to conservatory construction, blending form and function in hitherto unconceived ways, and harnessing the new metal working and construction methods of the recent industrial revolution in Northern Italy, gave birth to a totally unique conservatory the beauty of whose oneiric form was matched only by the ethereal qualities it lent to music performed therein. Amati, before traveling to England to spread his ideas about conservatory production and meeting a premature and tragic end in a turnip field near Slough, had brought forth a wholesale revolution in conservatory construction.
Today, the Amati conservatory is popular not only with music lovers – although the conservatory is still known as one whose combination with a Claude Debussy Nocturne and a Steinway grand could bring tears to the eyes of even the most hardened criminal. Today, Amati represents authenticity, truth, and unswerving dedication to the ideals of the conservatory. Amati is all about, as Nietzsche might say, the birth of the conservatory from the spirit of music.
