History
1810 founded Wojciech Bogusławski a music school for singers and actors in 1820 by Józef Elsner, the future teachers of Chopin, extended and connected to the University of Warsaw. Following the November Uprising in 1830 the school was closed by the authorities of the tsarist empire in 1861 and rebuilt as the Music Institute in Warsaw.
After the restoration of Polish independence in 1918, the Institute was taken over by the Polish government and was named Warsaw Conservatory. In the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 the old main building was destroyed. After the Second World War, the school was rebuilt in 1946 as a Higher State Music School and was called from 1979 Fryderyk Chopin Academy of Music. On 25 April 2008 it received its present name.
