History
Composer Hans Huber arranged in 1905 the conservatoire as a manager of the general music school „Allgemeine Musikschule“ which was founded in 1867. The conservatoire was the first of its way in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Today this bears the name College for music in Basel. In 1954 the general music school „Allgemeine Musikschule“ with the College for music was combined with the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, which was founded in 1933 by Paul Sacher.
