Leeds College of Music

Leeds College of Music is a music conservatoire based in the Quarry Hill district of Leeds, England. It was founded in 1965 by Joseph Stones. LCoM is the only conservatoire in the UK to offer both Higher and Further Education courses.

Aside from its education provision – which also includes short courses and programmes for adults and school-age musicians – Leeds College of Music hosts a seasonal programme of concerts, largely in its 350-seat auditorium 'The Venue'. In 2011 Leeds College of Music was awarded All-Steinway School status – becoming the only conservatoire in England to have 90% of its pianos from the Steinway family.

Leeds College of Music became a wholly owned subsidiary of Leeds City College in August 2011. Later, in 2018, the conservatoire regained its status as a Higher Education Institution.
