Evoluţia instituţiilor muzicale de învăţământ superior din timpul regimului comunist
Evolution of higher education musical institutions in the communist regime

Summary/Abstract: The history of the Romanian higher education in the communist regime is a less researched subject, although the higher education represented the main way to train new and specialized workforce in the communist quest for a ,,new society”. In the following paper we will present some aspects regarding the evolution of the music higher education, mainly because of two reasons. The first is related to the anniversary, this year, of 150 years from the establishment of the music higher education in Romania (1864-2014) and to the need to fill the information gap in its history, with the developments in the communist regime. The other reason is because music higher education, and actually the fields of the artistic higher education were not considered as a main priority in the development of higher education and of the communist Romania. In this background it becomes interesting to know how it functioned and to resolve this challenge, we present and analyze the structural changes of the Conservatories, some of their characteristics and the statistical data (between 1960 and 1989) regarding their total number of students, the number of freshmen and the number of graduates.
