Belarusian State Academy of Music

2 min. to read

Belarusian State Academy of Music is a key higher educational institution in the field of musical art in Belarus, founded on November 15, 1932, as the Belarusian State Conservatory. The modern academy building, constructed in 1958 on Liberty Square in Minsk, is designed in the classical style and is located on the site of the Lyakhovsky and Gavrilovich buildings, which were destroyed during the war. It was here that the Belarusian school of composition was born, founded by Vasily Zolotarev, a student of N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov. Today, the academy is a significant scientific, research, and cultural center of Belarus, specializing in the study of musicology, folklore, and music pedagogy. In 1992, it received academy status, and in 2000, it was recognized as the leading music university in the country. For its contribution to the development of musical education, the academy was awarded an Honorary Diploma by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus in 2002 and 2017. The academy building, with its monumental columns, is an architectural landmark of Minsk and an important cultural site that attracts the attention of both specialists and visitors to the city.
