History

Until moving into its present home, the academy operated in a building on Smolenskin Street in Jerusalem's Rehavia neighborhood. Israeli composer Josef Tal headed the academy in 1948–52.[1]

In 1965, Hassia Levy-Agron, a pioneer of dance in Israel, established the school's dance department. [2] Israeli conductor Mendi Rodan headed the school from 1984–93.[3]

Degrees

Today the school has a faculty of 160, and over 600 students. The academy is an independent institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education in Israel, but also collaborates with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The school has a Faculty of the Performing Arts, a Faculty of Composition, Conducting and Music Education, and a Faculty of Dance, Movement and Movement Notation.[4]
