A meeting was held in the Astrakhan Regional Scientific Library named after N.K. Krupskaya within the framework of the project "Cultural Archive". The initiator of the meeting, the Honored Worker of Culture of the Astrakhan region, associate Professor of the Astrakhan State Conservatory, Chairman of the regional branch of the Union of Composers of Russia Konstantin Guzenko, handed over to the library new publications – music collections of compositions by composers Mammed Guseynov and Nury Halmamedov (selected vocal compositions edited by opera singer Darya Guseynova). The publications will replenish the fund of the Department of Literature on art.

Astrakhan residents were also sent a video recording of Mammed Huseynov's address and Darya Guseynova's performance of the romance "The Canary" from Nury Halmamedov's "Unheard Songs of the Children of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" cycle.

Among the listeners were students of the Astrakhan College of Culture and Arts, teachers, youth and older people.

— Now these books will be stored and distributed to everyone in the main library of Astrakhan. Also, by the end of October, a separate exhibition is planned for the International Scientific and Practical Conference "The problem of the formation of national composer schools in the multicultural space", which will be held as part of the VII Moscow International Festival of Arts "Sounds of Dutar", - Konstantin Guzenko said.

The event was timed to coincide with the recent visit of the Governor of the Astrakhan region Igor Babushkin to Ashgabat, where he took part in celebrations in honor of the Independence Day of Turkmenistan.
