Digital showcase in Almaty's renowned Altau Traditional Arts Theater: online event featuring classic local performances
In the heart of Almaty, a city bursting with energy, over 60 real-time events have been organized for its day of celebration. Today, the city plays host to two concerts without an audience, offline and online exhibitions, various competitions, and activities, all to be broadcast. The main event took place at the "Aлатаu" Traditional Art Theater, where an online festive concert filled the air with melodious tunes.
Talented young artists took center stage, singing and dancing to the accompaniment of a folk-ethnographic ensemble with a sybyzgy and kobyz. Dalel Uashev, the director of the "Aлатаu" Traditional Art Theater, expressed his excitement, stating, "Despite the pandemic, we continue to celebrate important dates. Today is our beloved city's day. We've prepared an exciting, diverse concert program to showcase the richness of Kazakhstan's musical heritage. You can watch it on our YouTube channel."
During a rehearsal, the concert's host, Maral Anarbek, shared her feelings about performing without an audience. She, like many, hoped that soon concert halls would be filled again with the warm energy of their audiences. "We hope this is temporary. Soon, we'll meet our beloved audience again. We express our love to our listeners through our art, even online," she said.
The broadcast schedule is already set. Apart from the concert at the "Aлатаu" Theater, today's viewers can enjoy an online concert by the city akim's orchestra on social media and the YouTube channel "Almaty Auenderi". This classical music concert, led by Murat Serkebayev, is sure to be a treat for music lovers.
Jamilla Serkebayeva, the soloist of the city akim's concert orchestra, and an Honored Worker of Kazakhstan, emphasized the significance of the audience, "We miss the audience, their applause, and their warm eyes. We miss that special energy we both receive and give back to our audience. This moment has come. The whole world is going through this. I believe it will soon be over, and we'll give big open concerts again."
Gayisin, a renowned arranger, shared memories of Almaty, a city that has always been his muse. "I want to tell you, there hasn’t been a moment when I was sitting somewhere in the park, driving, and the muse didn't visit me. Here, some melody always accompanies me. This city inspires me a lot. Among all the cities in the world, Almaty is my muse. I want to congratulate all Almaty residents on the City Day!"
