The history of the Academy of Music in Łódź goes back to the early years of the 20th century. At this time Helena Kijeńska-Dobkiewiczowa founded a Music Conservatory, where she gathered a team of outstanding musicians and teachers. After WW II, the school was reactivated, first as State Music Conservatory, which was given on March 1, 1945 - according to a document of July 30, 1945 - a palace of Łódź factory owner, Izrael Kalmanowicz Poznański, situated at 32 Gdańska St. From April 1, 1946 - by the Decision of the Ministry of Culture and Art of Feb 1, 1946 (Journal of Regulations of Min. of Culture and Art No 2 of Jul 8, 1946) - the State Music Conservatory became the State Higher School of Music. From December 1, 1981, the School changed its name to Academy of Music (Journal of Laws No 31 of Dec 12, 1981), and on July 2, 1999, it adopted the name of Grażyna and Kiejstut Bacewicz (Journal of Laws No. 62 section 683 of December 29, 1981). Under the decision of December 1, 1992, the Academy was given the second building at 79 Kilińskiego Street, where the Main Library, together with the Record and Tape Library and reading room, has been situated since Oct 1, 1993. Some classes, for students of art education, music therapy, eurhythmics, and others, take place there as well.
The Academy of Music in Łódź emphasizes the internalization of education and improving its quality. Therefore an important point of the institutional strategy is to extend its international relations. Our Academy is an active participant in Erasmus+ (PL ŁÓDŹ04), exchanging its students and teaching staff with 50 institutions from Europe (including Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, United Kingdom, and other countries).
