Abstract
Set against a climate of increasing accountability, compliance, and regulation, this chapter explores the role of governance, management, and leadership in conservatoires. At first glance, such bureaucratic domains seem at odds with the creative ethos of a performing arts institution, but this chapter uncovers how conservatoires can demonstrate agility and creativity when responding to administrative constraints. It will look at this mostly from an English perspective (Scotland and Wales have their own national funding and regulatory arrangements, which are similar but distinct), but it will also make observations about the systems of governance and oversight internationally, by way of contrast. The chapter will address the role of good governance and strategic management in a modern conservatoire towards a manifesto for institutional success.
