| Description | During 1923–1933, the Mykhailo Drahomanov Ukrainian Higher Pedagogical Institute operated in Prague, providing advanced education to Ukrainian émigrés who settled in Czechoslovakia during the interwar period. Beyond the primary function of the institute’s music education faculty – to train teachers for Ukrainian secondary schools – it became the organising focal point of Ukrainian musical life in Prague, as well as an important centre of Ukrainian musicological research in Czechoslovakia. The Prague Drahomanov Institute was the first, and so far the only, place in Ukrainian education where music was taught as in a university – i.e. in close contact with the humanities and social sciences, as is the norm in Western Europe – and not, as it were, in a conservatoire, where musicology and music education are solely the preserve of academies of art, the arrangement more common in the post-Soviet region. |
