Vivid Conservatorium - a photo on Flickriver

Vivid Conservatorium

            Sydney Conservatorium of Music, part of the University of Sydney since 1990, is metres from where I work. I have never been inside Australia's premier tertiary music institution, and must get to a piano recital sometime.

The building was commissioned in 1815 initially as the stables building for Government House, designed by Francis Greenway (his only gothic building still standing), and in 1915 converted into a music school.

While it's no reflection on the quality of the institution but rather my fascination with sleaze, its leadership has a chequered history. In March 1956 Sir Eugene Goossens had to resign​ as director​ after a tip off alerted police to him bringing pornography into the country, leading to a scandal due to his association with 'Witch of Kings Cross' Rosaleen Norton (Sydney society was rigidly unliberated at the time). Since 2007 there has been a succession of changes beginning with sacking a teacher and a public fracas, plagiarism issues, an independent review recommending the dean be replaced (she survived), legal battles, and another dean forced to resign over expenses. Much more exciting!
