The Elder Conservatorium of Music and School of Performing Arts, formerly Elder Conservatorium of Music, also known as "The Con", is located in the centre of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, and is named in honour of its benefactor, Sir Thomas Elder (1818–1897). Dating in its earliest form from 1883, it has a history in professional training for musical performance, musical composition, research in all fields of music, and music education. The Elder Conservatorium and its forerunners have been parts of the University of Adelaide since the early 1880s, now Adelaide University. As of 2026 the director is Anna Goldsworthy.
