New rooms for Zurich Conservatory music school
During the summer vacations in 2014, the Zurich Department of Buildings renovated the third floor of the Kanzlei school building in district 4. Fourteen rooms were created from the former classrooms, which the Musikschule Konservatorium Zürich (MKZ) can use for lessons in addition to the existing music rooms in the Kanzlei school building.
Four of the new music rooms were developed with the aim of providing band lessons and workshops for MKZ's pop/rock/jazz department.
With the relocation of the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) from downtown Zurich to the newly built Toni-Areal, MKZ also had to find a new location for its pop/rock/jazz department, which until then had been able to use the ZHdK premises on Waldmannstrasse between the Kunsthaus and Bellevue.
The Kanzlei school building, the headquarters of MKZ Limmattal, is an ideal location, according to a statement from the city. The proximity to the Zurich music scene and the Kanzlei club, where MKZ has been a welcome guest for several years as a municipal institution, are the major advantages of the new home of MKZ Pop/Rock/Jazz.
On the weekend of September 27 and 28, 2014, the new music center will be inaugurated with a big party on the entire Kanzlei site.
