Evangelische Hochschule für Kirchenmusik Halle

The Evangelische Hochschule für Kirchenmusik Halle (Saale) was established on 18 April 1926 by the consistory of the Evangelical Church of the Church Province of Saxony in Aschersleben.[1]

On 29 January 1939, the Kirchenmusikschule moved from Aschersleben to Halle, into the building of the Schlesisches Konvikt in der Wilhelmstraße 10, today Emil Abderhalden-Straße.[2][3]

In 1993, the Evangelischen Kirchenmusikschule was granted the status of a university. It is now called the Protestant College of Church Music Halle (Saale). In 2001, it moved to the Händelkarree (Kleine Ulrichstraße 35). There the college is now located in the immediate vicinity of the musicological institute of the University of Halle, the Halle music library and the Handel House.
