The Music Laboratory was established on 16 October, 2014, in Sofia, by Yordan Kamdzhalov, with Maya Vasileva as conductor. This conceptual vocal formation was born in the cradle of the internationally recognised Bulgarian choir tradition. The key objective of the Music Laboratory for the Human Self is the quest and the craving for the infinite and unforeseeable capabilities and perspectives of the creative potential of the human being as such. 

Academia Musica focuses on the integral science of music. The programme is the next organically evolving step of Yordan Kamdzhalov Foundation’s Conceptual Cultural Platform aiming at the development of the Human Self.  The sessions delivered by celebrated experts in the field of music: interpreters, music theoreticians, philosophers and teachers, span a range of topics from the theory of music elements to overarching fundamental laws, principles and phenomena in music traced along their axis of evolvement from the antiquity to modernity.

Since 2010, the Foundation has been aiding and supporting the development and fulfilment of talented Bulgarian youth from the country, Europe and around the world by providing them with funds to attend educational forms within reputable schooling facilities, academies, festivals,competitions and master classes around the world. They are also furnished with  avenues to appear in prestigious-venue performances. The Foundation prize laureates hold annual meetings “Aspiration”.
