Previously unknown manuscripts of Saken Seifullin, the
founder of modern Kazakh literature, were presented in Satpayev. The city
hosted a national scientific and practical conference dedicated to the writer’s
anniversary. This year marks the 130th anniversary of Seifullin’s birth. In
honor of this anniversary, various events are being held nationwide to study
and promote the creative legacy of the prominent Kazakh poet and writer.
«We have dedicated three books to Saken Seifullin. His
musical legacy had not been fully explored before. As an artist, I decided to
transcribe 15 of Seifullin’s songs into sheet music. I found them in the golden
fund and through Kazakh citizens who were familiar with them. To date, we have
recorded and released 14 of these songs,» said scholar Serik Ospanov.
