Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Longy School of Music operates as a conservatory in Harvard Square, occupying several historic buildings including the Georgian-style Edwin Abbot House. Founded in 1915 by oboist Georges Longy, the institution merged with Bard College in 2012 to become Longy School of Music of Bard College. The conservatory specializes in training professional musicians through intensive performance-based programs, with particular emphasis on chamber music, orchestral studies, and contemporary music. Longy maintains a small, focused student body across its undergraduate and graduate programs, with all students receiving mentorship through the school's teaching practicum program. The campus includes multiple performance venues, practice rooms, and teaching studios, while students typically secure their own housing in the surrounding Cambridge area.
