Astana Ballet Theater presents «Names» project to audience

The Astana Ballet Theater hosted an evening of symphonic and instrumental music, featuring some of the finest works by renowned classical composers, including Ludwig van Beethoven.  The event was organized as part of the theater’s «Names» project, aimed at bringing together the country’s most outstanding soloists and musicians - artists who have become symbols of the nation’s musical culture. The program included performances by laureates of international competitions, whose talents are widely recognized abroad. Among them are violinist Kalamkas Jumabayeva, cellist Yermek Kurmanayev, and pianist Amir Tebenikhin. They mesmerized the audience with their performance of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto for violin, cello, and piano. The theater’s orchestra presented Franz Schubert’s renowned Symphony No. 8.

«Just over three years ago, when the theater finally succeeded in creating its own orchestra, that was when it all began - the idea of launching a truly unique project. Our first guest and performer was Amir Tebenikhin, a fellow countryman who now resides in Europe. An exceptional musician and a brilliant pianist, he took part in that inaugural concert. It was our first attempt, and it was a success. Since then, we have held at least one concert, sometimes even two,» said Arman Urazgaliyev, Chief Conductor of the Astana Ballet Symphony Orchestra.
