JVLMA

Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music/JVLMA/brings together talented students, erudite teachers, scientists and supportive employees in a dynamic and highly innovative environment, where creative energy and the spirit of experiment abound. Each second signals a targeted performance by young music professionals focused on achieving an increasingly high-quality result.

Today, more than 600 students from Latvia and abroad are studying in the Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate programmes of the Music Academy. The main activities of JVLMA are the performing arts, pedagogy, sound engineering, musicology and research.
On the one hand, the values of the university are rooted in the established traditions of its predecessors, particularly its first rector, Jāzeps Vītols. On the other hand, the outlook is focused on future developments as the academy's main mission is to identify new and enthusiastic talents, helping them to grow and flourish.

DeciBels is a Contemporary Music Festival of Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music. Mixing experimental, electroacoustic, ethnic and traditional expressions, deciBels still explores new realms into contemporary academic music - from chamber to choir.
