The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance ((ヘブライ語:האקדמיה למוסיקה ולמחול בירושלים)), is a school for the music and the performing arts in Jerusalem, Israel. It is located on the Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. ==History== The Jerusalem Conservatory of Music in Jerusalem was founded in August 1933 by violinist Emil Hauser, who served as its first director. His wife, Helena Kagan, a pioneer of pediatric medicine in pre-state Israel, was honorary secretary in 1938-1946.〔(Jewish Women Encyclopedia: Helena Kagan )〕 The principal of the school was Yocheved Dostorevsky, a pianist who immigrated to Jerusalem from Vienna. Israeli composer Josef Tal headed the academy in 1948–52. Classes were held at a building on the corner of Kikar Zion in the center of Jerusalem.〔( הרסייך ומחריבייך ממך יצאו: סיור בין הבתים הנכחדים של ירושלים )〕 As the number of students rose, the school moved to rented premises, the Schmidt building, on Hillel Street. In 1958, Samuel Rubin, president of the Norman Foundation (now the America-Israel Cultural Foundation), donated a large sum of money to purchase a building on Smolenskin Street in Jerusalem's Rehavia neighborhood. The inauguration took place in the presence of Golda Meir, Teddy Kollek and other dignitaries. At the ceremony, the school was renamed the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem.〔(JAMD, History )〕 That same year, the Academy library was established under the leadership of Claude Abravanel. During his 35 years as director, the library collected books, journals, scores, first editions and the like. The collection now resides in the Academy's library and in the Israeli music archives, founded in 1988.〔idem.〕 Edith Gerson-Kiwi, an ethnomusicologist specializing in the ethnic music of the oriental Jewish communities of Palestine and Israel, taught music history there in 1942. With the encouragement of Emil Hauser, she established the Phonograph Archives of the Palestine Institute of Folklore and Ethnology and the academy's collection of ethnic musical instruments.〔(Jewish Women Encyclopedia: Edith Gerson-Kiwi )〕 In 1965, Hassia Levy-Agron, a pioneer of dance in Israel, established the school's dance department. Israeli conductor Mendi Rodan headed the school from 1984–93. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
