Kazakh music was presented in
Scotland. EEGERU contemporary music ensemble from Kazakhstan participated in
the world’s greatest celebrations of arts and culture, Edinburgh Festival
Fringe. The concert program featured works by Kazakh composers, including Kuat
Shildebayev and Artyk Toksanbai as well as foreign ones, including a new
composition by Clare Johnston, written especially for the ensemble and
dedicated to Almaty. It bears noting that the event traditionally brings
together nearly two million people. The festival takes place over three weeks
in August at various locations in Edinburgh.
