QAZAQCONCERT

The Central Exhibition Center «QAZAQSTAN» is a unique complex of the young capital designed for holding events of various levels: concerts of world and domestic stars, celebrations and official meetings, exhibitions, conferences, presentations.

The idea of creating a concert hall «QAZAQSTAN» belongs to the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A.Nazarbayev. The avant-garde appearance of the concert hall, combining the harmony of music and beautiful nature, reflects the spirit of our young capital. The author of the unique structure is the famous Italian architect Manfredi Nicoletti. One of the most beautiful architectural structures in the world is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

Since 2016, the largest concert organization of the country «Kazakconcert» has started its activity on the basis of the concert hall «QAZAQSTAN».

Large concert hall with 3,500 seats
The Large Concert Hall is designed for 3,500 seats and is unique in its architectural and acoustic characteristics. The Large Hall is divided into 4 sectors:

stalls (488 seats);
dress circle (543 seats);
balcony (1804 seats);
gallery (396 seats).
It is endowed with all functions, including the possibility of changing its position and acoustics, depending on the event held in it. An unheard-of acoustic effect was achieved here thanks to the atrium, which is made in the form of a musical instrument and can be «tuned» to any show, be it a symphony concert, opera or a film screening. Outside and inside, the atrium is decorated with a special wood that allows acoustics to perform its functions without any restrictions. Even the floor of the concert hall is made of special parquet of high wear resistance and laid in a special way with an acoustic bias.

A special place in the hall is occupied by the stage (an area of 274 sq.m.), which is divided into 2 parts. The front part is reserved for the orchestra and has separate exits for the orchestra.

It should also be noted that the atrium has a very advantageous feature, visually becoming smaller. This is due to separate hanging curtains, which, when mounted on ceiling trusses, cut off the upper level of the hall – the gallery, as well as several sectors of the third level - the balcony. Thus, a hall designed for 3,500 seats can easily be converted into a hall for 2,000.

Above the stage, at its most central point, there is a sound cluster of the American company Renkus-Heinz, with a total capacity of 25 kilowatts. There are also 12 front-facing speakers located around the perimeter of the hall, which distribute sound directly to all fronts and convey it to each sector.

The presence of a large-format cinema screen measuring 14x8 meters, implies holding various film screenings and video presentations, with the ability to play videos in any format, including the most advanced - Blue Ray.

Chamber hall for 250 seats
The chamber hall is designed for 250 seats and, thanks to its excellent acoustic characteristics, is considered one of the best chamber venues in the capital.

The chamber hall made it possible to significantly expand the repertoire and genre possibilities of the state-owned enterprise «Kazakconcert». It hosts performances by leading soloists and creative groups of the concert organization, concerts of chamber music, jazz, folk music, solo concerts of young musicians, thematic, musical, literary, anniversary evenings, solo performances, creative meetings.

Conference room
The conference hall is designed for 200 seats. This conference hall is ideal for seminars, trainings, conferences, presentations.
