Descriptions

The Ukrainian National Tchaikovsky Academy of Music is one of the oldest and the most prestigious higher music education institutions in the country. The Kyiv Conservatory was officially opened on 3 November 1913 on the basis of the Kyiv Music College (established in 1868) after long and complex preparatory work. The end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries saw the music college’s reorganization into a conservatory due to the persistent efforts of Volodymyr Pukhalsky, the colleges’s director from 1887 to 1913 and a famous pianist, teacher and society figure, Alexander Vinohradsky, an outstanding conductor and Head of the Kyiv Branch of the Imperial Russian Music Society (IRMS), the school’s academic staff and Ukrainian cultural community. Petro Tchaikovsky also made a significant contribution to the transformation of the Kyiv Music College into the conservatory. The famous composer often visited Kyiv, readily communicated with many musicians and always sought to support interesting initiatives and help them grow. After one of the concerts at the music college, he congratulated the students on the progress that they were making and expressed confidence that the development of music education in Kyiv was in trustworthy hands and looked promising. This played an important role in facilitating the music college’s reorganization into a higher education institution. Anton Rubinstein, best remembered as a pianist, composer and educator, was another outstanding musician who, having studied the state of affairs at the Kyiv Music College in detail, noted the compliance of its teaching and learning process with the high standards of a conservatory education.
