"Maria Cebotari" School of Music

In the summer of 1954, the Children's Music School was founded in the south of Moldova, which opened a unique possibility for many young talents to develop and manifest themselves.
During its existence, the school underwent many changes, and on February 17, 1994, by the decision of the Cahul City Hall, it was awarded the title of "Maria Cebotari" School of Arts, a name that was definitively inlaid in the world's golden book of the most prestigious personalities of lyrical art of all times, offering graduates the following specialties: music, plastic arts, theater, choreography. At the moment, by the decision of the Cahul municipal council on September 14, 2021, the institution was reorganized and renamed the "Maria Cebotari" School of Music, emphasizing only the field of music. The institution trained professional musicians, who contributed to the development of the cultural life of the Republic of Moldova. We will mention a few names: Serghei Covalenco, Emil Croitoru, Boris Dolinschii, Svetlana Bălăescu, Olia Tira, Stela Botez, Gabriel Nebunu.
