Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts

The Academy of Music, Theatre, and Fine Arts is a public institution of higher education in Chisinau. It traces its roots to the Chisinau State Conservatory founded in 1940, and the music education institutions that have been active in Chisinau since 1919, with the establishment of the “Unirea” Conservatory initiated by George Enescu. In its current iteration, the Academy of Music, Theatre, and Fine Arts was formed through the reorganization of the State University of Arts. The university resulted from the merger of the “Gavriil Musicescu” Academy of Music and the State Institute of Arts in 1999. This reorganization took effect on September 1, 2002.
