Founded in 1919 by the composer Jāzeps Vītols (1863-1948, considered the founder of Latvian classical music), the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music is the nation's specialist higher conservatory. Approximately 700 students. Central to Latvia's rich choral tradition — Latvia's Song and Dance Festival (a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage tradition with mass choirs of tens of thousands) is deeply connected to the Academy; Latvian choral music is internationally renowned (the 'Singing Revolution' of 1987-91 drew on this tradition). ⚠️ Added by curator (collector omission).
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
