Reina Sofía School of Music
The place for your talent in the heart of Madrid

The Reina Sofía School of Music is considered as one of the leading

European Schools for especially gifted students who wish to become
professional musicians.

It was founded in 1991 by Paloma O'Shea as a highly professional

training centre with a double goal: supporting the development of
young musicians and bringing music closer to society.

The Reina Sofía School was created with the help and advice of great
maestros like Yehudi Menuhin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Alicia de Larrocha
and Zubin Mehta, and enjoys the support of Her Majesty Queen Sofía as
its Honorary President, as well as that of public and private institutions.

Every year, 150 young musicians coming from more than 30 countries
meet renowned teachers – around 80 –, under the best conditions, in an
inspiring building at the centre of Madrid.

The tuition-free system allows those with enough merit to have access
to the highest level of education.

The School organizes over 300 concerts a year with more than 60,000
attendees, in order to give students the opportunity to mature on stage.
