The Prague conservatory:

https://www.prgcons.cz/images/photos/skola1.jpg
This is a detached building, on the other side of the river, where the major concerts take place:

The concert hall itself:

And the view from the main building to the other side of the river speaks for itself:

I find the nomination justified.

the tchaikovsky conservatory is really something! actually all of them - but i liked how that one looked when lit up at night. imagine prague is the same way. so musical and so much tradition.

west chester has a new music building.
there's one from the front and another from the side (you can see the shape of a grand piano in the architecture):
