The Royal Danish Academy of Music

The Royal Danish Academy of Music was founded in 1867 by the composer Niels W. Gade. It is the eldest professional institution of musical education in Denmark and the largest, with approximately 400 students. Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II is Protector of the institution and an eager participant in the conservatory's annual celebration concert.

The inspiration for founding the academy was similar to academies in Germany, and it was Niels W. Gade’s guiding principle that a music academy should provide basic musical education. This principle has been central despite several significant changes in the running of the academy since 1867.

In 1948 the Academy was taken over by the Danish government.
