The Royal Conservatoire (Dutch: Koninklijk Conservatorium, KC) is a conservatoire in The Hague, providing higher education in music and dance. The conservatoire was founded by King William I in 1826, making it the oldest conservatoire in the Netherlands.[1] Since September 2021, the KC is housed in the Amare building in the centre of the Hague, together with the Residentie Orkest and the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT).[2]
