Odessa National Music Academy named after AV Nezhdanova (Ukrainian: Одеська національна м��зична академія імені А. В. Нежданової) or Odessa Conservatory is a Ukrainian state institution of higher music education. Its courses include postgraduate education.
History[]
The Odessa Conservatory was established in 1913 on the basis of the music school (founded in 1897) of the Odessa branch of the Russian Music Society.[1][2] The founder of the conservatory was a prominent Polish composer, conductor and teacher Witold Maliszewski (1873-1939), a student of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Oleksandr Glazunov, and a teacher of Mykola Vilinsky and Witold Lutoslawski.
In 1923 it was divided into a music institute and a technical school, which in 1928 were merged into the Music and Drama Institute.[1]
In 1934 the Odessa Conservatory was re-established in the previous form.[2][1] In 1950 it was named after the outstanding opera singer Antonina Nezhdanova.[1][2]
On May 8, 2012, by the decree of the President of Ukraine, the conservatory was renamed to academy and granted the national status.[3]
