Music Holidays at the Astana Opera

Music Holidays at the Astana Opera

(Second Concert)

THE CONCERT IS HELD IN KAZAKH AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES

It has become a good tradition for talented Kazakhstani students studying at the leading universities of the republic and prestigious educational institutions abroad to perform on the stage of the Chamber Hall.

The concert “Musical Holidays at the Astana Opera” will feature works by national authors and classical composers performed by students of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Gnesins Russian Academy of Music, V. Yankovsky Novosibirsk Specialized Music School, Carnegie Mellon University (USA) and others.

All young artists are outstanding musicians, winners of prestigious international competitions. Performing at home is a double responsibility – it is an exam, the result of their work, a recital before the domestic public and teachers who gave them a ticket to the big world of music.
