Abstract

For the first time in Armenian Musicology, the author pages through the history of collaboration between Yerevan Komitas State Conservatory and NAS RA Institute of Arts. Said collaboration was particularly efficient in the field of capacity development: the Conservatory provided musicologists to the center of Armenian Musicology — the Institute of Arts, while the Institute of Arts, with its postgraduate, external and doctoral courses, to a great extent contributed to the advancement of musicological qualification and professional level of the faculty of the Conservatory. The overwhelming majority of the present-day Doctors and Candidates of Sciences of the Conservatory faculty have been awarded their degrees by the Specialized Council 016 on Art Criticism under the aegis of NAS RA Institute of Arts.
