The music of the Kazakhs, a Turkic people of Central Asia, embraces an
array of vocal and instrumental traditions originating from different
regions over the vast expanse stretching east to west from the Caspian
Sea to the Altai Mountains and north to south from the plains of
Western Siberia to desert and oases of Transoxiana. This concert of
Kazakh music brings together acclaimed master-musicians from
Kazakhstan and Mongolia, singers and performers on folk instruments,
the two-stringed fiddle qobyz, long-necked lute dombra, end-blown
flute sybyzghy, and zither jetygen. Taking the listeners on a journey
across the soundscapes of the Kazakh Steppe, they will introduce them
to the vocal art of Jetisu and Sary-Arqa, qobyz performance of
Southern and Central Kazakhstan, epic singing from Qyzyl-Orda and
Manghystau, sybyzghy performance of Altai, and dombra styles of
Eastern and Western Kazakhstan.

Organised by the British-Kazakh Society and the Embassy of Kazakhstan in the UK
