Pyongyang Kim Won Gyun University of Music and Dance was founded on March 1, 1949, under the warm care of President Kim Il Sung.
  The university has recorded a proud history of development of the Juche-oriented art, following the road of steady development under the wise leadership of the peerlessly great men.
  It was re-built in May 2006 according to the instruction of Chairman Kim Jong Il.
  It is a centre for training talented conductors, composers, instrumentalists, vocalists and musical instrument makers in the country.
  It is also a “seed farm” for music education in our country which guides the music and dance schools attached to it and gives online education to those who want to learn music while working at their posts.
  It has produced a large number of honorary title holders, winners of national and international contests, and talented artistes who are beloved of our people. It conducts various exchanges with world-renowned conservatories of music.
  Thanks to the energetic guidance and care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, the university has further developed into the highest institution of the Juche-oriented music and arts education provided with able teaching staff and solid material foundation.
