Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre

The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre began in the form of a mixed choir of the Estonia Society Musical Department (EMD) on the eve of World War I.

In 1923 the educational institution was renamed the Tallinn Conservatoire. In 1938 the State Drama School was opened. In 1993 the school was renamed the “Estonian Academy of Music”. In 1995 the Drama Faculty was renamed the Higher Theatre School.
