Oriented on making people closer

The concert of the unique Youth Symphony Orchestra of the CIS became the final chord of the first day of the XV Forum of Creative and Scientific Intelligentsia of the member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States held in Tashkent. The gala concert was sold out at the Alisher Navoi State Academic Bolshoi Theater of Uzbekistan.

The concert program of the CIS Youth Symphony Orchestra was compared by guests and media representatives for its colorfulness with delicious Uzbek pilaf. The music of the composers of the Commonwealth countries - Dmitry Shostakovich, Kara Karaev, Aram Khachaturian, Evgeny Doga, Nury Halmamedov, Pyotr Tchaikovsky and other great authors - was played today.

People's Artist of Russia Sergey Skripka and young conductors Alibek Kabdurakhmanov from Uzbekistan, Rasul Klychev – the head of the Turkmen State Symphony Orchestra and Murtaza Bulbul from Azerbaijan stood at the conductor's desk. By the way, he conducted the composition when his father, the famous singer Polad Bulbul oglu, sang. According to him, he "decided to shake the old days on this occasion" and sing some of his famous songs.

The audience applauded standing and sang along to the Azerbaijani and Soviet pop star, who performed songs of his own composition popular throughout the post-Soviet space. Bulbul oglu sang the song "Shake" after going down to the hall and invited ten-time world champion, three-time Olympic champion Irina Rodnina, who participates in the Tashkent Forum, to dance.

Immediately after the concert , conductor Rasul Klychev told Orient in an interview:

― A lot of people came up to me at the reception, participants of the forum and the concert, including the Azerbaijani Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbul oglu and Mikhail Efimovich Shvydkoi, artistic director of the Moscow Musical Theater, ex-Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation. They all said a lot of warm words to me.

I conducted Belarusian music, Kyrgyz music, our Turkmen music and Tchaikovsky's Pas de Deux from The Nutcracker ballet. It was my finest hour! The concert program was so beautiful that the composition "Pas De Deux" by Pyotr Ilyich sounded especially sincere and everyone appreciated it, especially Maestro Sergei Ivanovich Violin and praised my conducting craft. Rehearsals and communication have brought us all together, and we have become, if I may say so, a big conducting family.

It was nice to hear that many famous musicians and creative people know and love the Turkmen state Orchestra and what we and the artists of the composition are doing for the Turkmen culture. It may not sound quite modest, but in Tashkent I learned that our work is known far beyond the borders of Turkmenistan. The words "You are doing a noble deed", said by great people and musicians, are probably the highest degree of praise," Rasul Klychev said.
