TURAN: «Folk and Symphony»
TURAN: «Folk & Symphony»
A world-acclaimed project - now in Astana!
The TURAN ensemble, an ambassador of Turkic culture and heritage, invites you to its signature project «Folk & Symphony.»
«Folk & Symphony» stands among TURAN’s most innovative achievements and has made a meaningful contribution to the global music scene. The ensemble was the first to unite the sound of traditional national instruments with symphonic artistry, creating a distinctive artistic fusion. Premiered in 2008 on the stage of Berlin’s renowned Konzerthaus, the project continued its journey across leading venues worldwide.
After gaining international recognition, «Folk & Symphony» was released in 2022 as an official CD album. Audience favorites from TURAN’s repertoire - «Er Turan», «Qily Zaman», «Uly Turan Mangilik», «Qara Zhorgha», «Koroǵly», and others - are presented in a new symphonic dimension.
A project that has elevated national music to a new artistic level continues to grow year by year, with its symphonic repertoire constantly expanding. You can hear new orchestral works on March 12 at 19:00 on the stage of the Erkegali Rakhmadiyev State Academic Philharmonic.
Participants of the evening:
The Symphony Orchestra of the State Academic Philharmonic of the Akimat of Astana;
Conductors: the orchestra’s Artistic Director, People’s Artist of Kazakhstan Abzal Mukhitdinov; Order of «Qurmet» holder, member of the Union of Composers of Kazakhstan Arman Zhaiym; composer, conductor, folk-music researcher, and author of TURAN’s symphonic arrangements Abulkhair Sagimbayev.
Become part of a unique story where the ancient spirit of the Steppe intertwines with the grandeur of classical music!
