Portraits

An Evening of Music

On 15 March, Arman Murzagaliyev will present the evening of music “Portraits” in the Astana Opera Chamber Hall.

A direct heir of the Shanins, the glorious dynasty of artists and musicians, Arman Murzagaliyev honorably represents the performing art of Kazakhstan far beyond its borders.

The violinist’s bright and multifaceted performing talent consistently wins acclaim and enthusiastic approval from the sophisticated audiences around the globe.
