As our great Kazakh writer Mukhtar Auezov once said: “Theatre is one of the greatest forms of art.”

  Art and culture are an inseparable part of a nation’s spiritual heritage. With this in mind, we had the pleasure of attending the traditional Kazakh musical evening “Altybakan”, which gave us an opportunity to celebrate our heritage and experience the beauty of Kazakh culture! 🇰🇿

  The evening brought together traditional songs and instrumental music, dances, humour and national games, recreating the joyful atmosphere of a traditional Kazakh village. The warm melodies of the dombra, traditional songs and graceful dances made the event truly special and filled the audience with unforgettable emotions.

  “Altybakan” is more than just a musical evening. It is a meaningful cultural event that brings people together, revives national traditions and celebrates the spiritual values of the Kazakh people.

  We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Al-Farabi Kazakh National University for providing us with opportunities to take part in such inspiring cultural events and enrich our student life with unforgettable experiences!

  It is a great privilege to study at a university that values not only academic education but also art, culture and national heritage.

  May our national art continue to flourish, and may our traditions be passed down from generation to generation!
