History

NEC was founded in 1867 by Eben Tourjee, who modelled it after the European conservatories of that time. Initially, it was located in the Boston Music Hall just off Tremont Street in downtown Boston. A few years later,1870 it moved to the former St. James Hotel in Franklin Square in the South End. It moved to its present location in the Symphony/Prudential Neighborhood on Huntington Avenue in 1903. In 1881, when Henry Lee Higginson established the Boston Symphony Orchestra, he drew heavily on school's faculty to serve as section leaders. Today, the school and the orchestra continue to share a close association - nearly half of the BSO is composed of conservatory faculty and alumni, a remarkable statistic. Not surprisingly, the BSO string section is also considered the orchestra's strongest asset, representative of the strings department at NEC. When Boston established its first full-scale opera company in 1908, the manager, conductors, soloists, orchestra, chorus, library, and rehearsal rooms were all provided by the conservatory. After the demise, Boris Goldovsky's Opera Theater gave local audiences their first fully-staged performances in more than a decade. In 1958, Goldovsky's protégé Sarah Caldwell founded the Opera Company of Boston, which gained international acclaim for its innovative programming. Year 1867 (MDCCCLXVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Sunday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ... 1870 (MDCCCLXX) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Monday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ...
