Chongqing, March 20 (Xinhua) — The Chongqing P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music of Chongqing Normal University officially opened in the southwest Chinese city of Chongqing on Thursday.
As has been announced, the newly established conservatory offers two bachelor's and two master's programs. Graduates can receive a certificate of education and diploma from Chongqing Normal University, as well as a course completion certificate from the Moscow State P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Outstanding graduates will also be offered the opportunity to travel to Russia for further study.
The conservatory will employ a highly qualified Russian teaching staff, allowing Chinese students to obtain a professional musical education without having to travel abroad.
Alexander Sokolov, Rector of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, noted that the goals of cooperation between the two countries' educational institutions are to cultivate a large number of outstanding musical talents and to enrich the cultural atmosphere of the city and society through music, so that music can become an important force in nourishing people's spiritual worlds.
Both sides provide enormous support to this project and attach great importance to musical exchanges between the two countries, added A. Sokolov.
Chongqing Normal University President Wang Guoyin announced that the conservatory will enroll 100 first-year students from 19 provinces in China in 2026, and will meet the needs of the music industry in the western part of China and create conditions for cultivating musical talent and creating cultural innovations.
The conservatory will use music as a means to deepen cultural exchanges and promote rapprochement between the peoples of China and Russia, as well as contribute to the development of bilateral relations, noted Zhang Yan, Party Secretary of Chongqing Normal University and Director of the Chongqing P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music.
On the occasion of the launch of the China-Russia Cross Years of Education in 2026-2027, this project has become an important practice for deepening integration, mutual learning and innovation in the field of higher education between China and Russia. -0-
