In the summer of 1954, the Children's Music School was founded in southern Moldova, which opened a unique opportunity for many young talents to develop and manifest themselves. During its existence, the school underwent many changes, and on February 17, 1994, by decision of the Cahul City Hall, it was awarded the title of the "Maria Cebotari" School of Arts, a name that was definitively enshrined in the world's golden book of the most prestigious personalities of lyrical art of all time, offering the following specialties to its graduates: music, fine arts, theater, choreography.
