Darkhan Dala
(To the 100th anniversary of Sydyk Mukhamedzhanov)

THE CONCERT IS HELD IN KAZAKH AND RUSSIAN

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the talented composer Sydyk Mukhamedzhanov, Honoured Artist of the Kazakh SSR (1961), People’s Artist of the Kazakh SSR (1967), and People’s Artist of the USSR (1990).

As one of the founders of the composer school in the republic, he is considered a classic of Kazakh music of the 20th century. Sydyk Mukhamedzhanov introduced new genres into Kazakh music: he was the author of the first national comic opera, the first Kazakh oratorio, and a vocal concert with orchestra. Contemporary and subsequent researchers of the composer’s work consider his talent to be unique.
