More about the institution
Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance / Israel
Established over eight decades ago, the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance is Israel's foremost institute of music and dance education, creativity and performance. Within its walls are the JAMD undergraduate and graduate degree–granting academic institution, the High School of the performing Arts and the Conservatory of Music and Dance. Every day, 1800 young aspiring performers from age four to graduate students attend the JAMD, an outstanding environment for fulfilling their potential. The scope and diversity of subjects taught at the Academy cover almost every aspect of music and dance, from classical composition to contemporary choreography.
Under one roof, one can find classes in Middle Eastern Music, Arabic Music, Klezmer Music, Cross-Disciplinary Music and naturally in Baroque- and Classical Music, Jazz, Ballet, Modern Dance as well as in Music- and Dance Education, Movement and Movement Notation. The Academy has become a world-renowned academic institution with a faculty of international repute. Its graduates, teachers and faculty members are among Israel's leading musicians and dancers, contributing to the local scene and representing Israel internationally. Its curriculum of studies is a dynamic mix of academic study and practical professional experience.
By establishing performing groups and initiating more than 300 performances per year, the JAMD provides opportunities for its students of all ages to appear on stage both in Israel and abroad. Throughout the world, the JAMD's graduates can be found wherever music and dance are taught, performed, or simply cherished and enjoyed.
The Academy has traditional ties to Hungarian classical music in the past and the present: among their professors and students multiple artists can be found with Hungarian origins. Oedon Pártos and Ilona Fehér are still among the indispensable predecessors of the string department. In the meantime, the Liszt Academy has an unparalleled professional relation with the Jerusalem Academy: together we organize each year a joint project, called Reconnections where selected students rehearse and give concerts in Hungary one year and in Jerusalem the next. The detailed description of the project can be found here:

The main building of the Jerusalem Academy is located in one of the most important campuses of the city: multiple bus lines are available nearby as well as the main tramline, making the university easily accessible from the downtown area.
The university has no dormitory, however the international department of the Academy is highly helpful in finding accommodation. There is a cafeteria on the first floor with coffee and sandwiches and a canteen is open during lunch time in the next room.
The city of Jerusalem is one of the most ancient cities in the world: it is the cradle of countless cultures, religions and languages and today it is the paramount meeting point of Western and Eastern civilization. Jerusalem has innumerable sights while the other momentous city, Tel Aviv is only an hour away.
