On January 31, at the concert "Violin and her friends", the audience will witness the continuous connection and deep respect between teacher and students.

It is worth noting that many successful musicians who studied with the wonderful teacher, Professor of KazNUI Askar Duisenbayev, today work in the most prestigious creative teams in the world, as well as in the capital's Astana Opera orchestra.

“Askar Samratovich Duisenbayev is my mentor. It is not without reason that they say: “A good teacher has good students.” His rich experience and wise advice have become a light on the path of many young talents. Therefore, the idea of the upcoming concert is a tribute to our teacher. He is a very deep musician, subtly feeling the slightest nuances of psychological states transmitted by composers in music. Askar Samratovich is a demanding person not only to students, but also to himself. Even after graduation, he continues to be a teacher for us, an example of true service to art. I would also like to talk about Dana Galimovna, a wonderful musician who will perform the piano part at our concert. Thanks to her support, sensitivity and musicality, you completely surrender to the music during the performance without doubts or fears,” – shared her thoughts violinist Akerke Ali.

Askar Duisenbayev himself will perform at the upcoming concert, as well as his students, who are laureates of international competitions. Among them are Akerke Ali, artists of the Astana Opera orchestra Asel Zhakiyanova, Asem Zhakparova, Shalkar Zheldibay, artists of the Astana Ballet orchestra Talshyn Keshilbaeva, Saniya Isabekova, Ardak Kaimuldinova and others. In addition, Askar Duisenbayev’s daughters, Adelya and Raikhan Duisenbayevs, who continue their father’s musical path and are his followers, will take part in the musical evening.

The concert participants will demonstrate their skills in duets, quartets and, of course, with solo numbers. Famous works by Kazakh and foreign composers such as M. Sagatov, E. Brusilovsky, P. Tchaikovsky, A. Vivaldi, N. Paganini, K. Saint-Saens and M. de Falla will be performed on the stage of the Kulyash Baiseitova Chamber Hall.

“For us, Askar Samratovich’s students, the violin is not just an instrument. Our mentor taught us to treat her with great reverence, so much so that she became an important part of our lives. Therefore, the name of the concert "Violin and her friends" was chosen not by chance. I invite everyone to share this event with us, filled with respect and gratitude to the teacher, as well as boundless love for high art. I am sure that the gentle and enchanting sound of the violin will touch the hearts of listeners and leave an unforgettable impression,” – Akerke Ali summarized.
