The Vega Musical Conservatory preserves iconic instruments, rescues recordings from fading tape and film, and documents the stories of the artists who made them — then shares it all with the musicians of tomorrow.
The collection is being digitized and cataloged now — the first items will appear here soon. Three kinds of treasures are on the way:
Sessions and performances digitized from reel, cassette, and VHS before they fade away.
Iconic pieces with documented provenance — from their makers to every pair of hands since.
Musical and cultural icons demonstrating and discussing pieces held by the Conservatory.
Your donation to the Conservatory makes one-on-one mentorship possible. In appreciation, Bobby Vega generously offers four 15-minute virtual sessions — request a time, get confirmed, then give.
About the mentorshipWe document and re-home instruments, digitize at-risk recordings, and bring working artists to new musicians — in schools, communities, and beyond. Your support makes this possible.
Support the ConservatorySpecial events at the Conservatory — and programs that carry our collection out into the world, like a traveling circus of inspiration and musicality. Dates coming soon.
