Souza Lima Music Conservatory celebrates 30 years of existence.
The name, “Souza Lima” is associated with one of the most important classical Brazilian pianists of the twentieth century. Souza Lima has become recognized now as a synonym for dedication to musical instruction, through the Conservatory and College, which use the pianist’s name as patron.
The Jardins branch of Souza Lima was inaugurated in 1986. After that, it was Alphaville’s turn in 2003. The Moema branch followed in 2007 and the Percussion Center on the avenue, 9 de Julho, in 2011. In 2012, we will inaugurate the Lorena branch with the Audio Production and DJ Center.
