The Conservatori del Liceu began in 1837 when a group of Barcelona citizens decided to start an organization designed to promote the culture of the city and offer music education. The Conservatori del Liceu became an independent institution in 1983 when the Departament d'Enseyament de la Generalitat separated the Conservatori Superior de Barcelona into two separate entities. Entrance into the school is competitive, and admission depends on how a student performs on an entrance exam and interview with the admission board.
