- Administrative/biographical history:
- This was established in 1913 on the basis of the music school of the Kiev branch of the Russian Music Society. The conservatory included vocal, piano, and wind instrument departments, and its first directors were the pianist and teacher V. V. Pukhal’skii (1913) and the composer R. M. Glier (1914-20). In 1925 the conservatory was reorganised as a music and theatre technicum, and in 1928 its senior classes became part of the N. V. Lysenko Music and Drama Institute. It was re-established as an institute of higher learning in 1934, whereupon it opened a music school and music academy, a graduate programme in 1935, and an opera studio in 1938. In 1940 the conservatory was renamed in honour of Petr Chaikovskii. During the Second World War the conservatory was evacuated to Sverdlovsk. From 1943-45 it was under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian SSR Council of People’s Commissars’ Committee on the Arts; from 1946-52, that of the Ukrainian SSR Council of Ministers’ Committee on the Arts; from 1953-54, the Ukrainian SSR Ministry of Culture’s Main Administration on the Arts; and from 1954-75, that of the Ukrainian SSR Ministry of Culture. In 1995, the conservatory was made the P. I. Chaikovskii National Music Academy of Ukraine.
