Cervantes, the latter being the brother of Luis G. Cervantes, provisional governor of Puebla. The institution was founded as the Conservatory of Music and Declamation, and Samaniego became director of the institute.

Initially, the conservatory was established in the Old Archbishopric (Post Office building). Later his headquarters moved to a building on Avenida Juárez and 13 Sur, where he remained for 47 years.
