Make an impact to the lives of our students during their studies and nurture the future of world-class musical education.

We value our community who can support the future of musicians in South Australia.

There are many ways you can support the Elder Conservatorium of Music – from donating musical instruments, to making a donation or making a bequest. 

We are unable to accept donations of sheet music and print items, however the University's library may have interest – visit the University of Adelaide Barr Smith Library webpage for more details.
