It was started in 2005.[1] as a merger of the former departments of music, theater and opera at the university.
The main campus building is located at Eklandagatan 86 in Gothenburg.
The school also acts as a training center for orchestral music. The programme is called Master in Symphonic Orchestra Performance and was started by the then head Ingemar Henningsson after preparatory work with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra (Göteborgs Symfoniker). The two-year programme organizes about 8 or 9 orchestra projects per academic year.
