Oriented on making people closer

The last holiday days for the children of Ashgabat were marked by participation in a large Kids expo exhibition-fair. And while almost all pavilions emphasised contests, competitions, games and master classes, the pavilion of the Advertising Department of the State Committee of Turkmenistan for Television, Radiobroadcasting and Cinematography distinguished itself from all others with an unusual feature.

The so-called "bush piano" became the center of everyone's attention, attracting a small but very lively and talented group of young musicians. Colorful photos and videos of this "Kids music band" performing at the exhibition could be seen in many national publications and on TV channels. Well, the time has come to present the nameless heroes of the advertising management pavilion of the SCTRC.

This is the rising star, pianist, and budding composer Tylla Shirova; the young violinist and laureate of international competitions, Sonya Nasyrova; the vocalist and children's theater artist, Roza Charyeva; and the reader, winner of many contests, Ayhan Orazdurdyyev. They were accompanied by the talented pianists, Sakina Aliyeva and Naina Kuliyeva.

The performance of the "Kids music band" attracted the attention of all visitors. Many of them stopped and asked questions of the young musicians, took photos with them, and even interviewed them.

The concert consisted mainly of works by the Turkmen composer Ayna Shirova. Although there was no hall with seats for the audience in this musical corner, the young musicians gathered many people around them. Even those who passed by involuntarily slowed down and stretched their necks, trying to find out where the melody was coming from.

The performance began with pieces from the "Children's Album" for piano. Representatives of diplomatic missions, who were present at the opening ceremony, noted high pianistic level of Tyllya and wished her success in music. Sonia Nasyrova and concertmaster Sakina Aliyeva played a duet of oriental melody by A.Shirova. Intricate overflows and colorful harmonies, in combination with the performing mastery of the musicians, pleased the listeners. Aina Shirova's song "Dudochka" performed by Roza Chariyeva on verses by Hemra Shirov was performed with childlike spontaneity and amusement. And Ayhhan Orazdurdyev, whom everyone knows as the best reciter in Ashgabat, artistically recited the verse of Hemra Shirov "How Meret is going to school". And in the finale, Tylla performed her favourite play "Bakhshi" by Mamed Huseynov.

The concert was such a success that the children had to encore their musical program several times from beginning to end. Although the young musicians were tired from such a busy concert schedule, they were very satisfied. Incidentally, the organizers of the performance, who invited the children to the exhibition, were also pleased. They rewarded the children with gifts.
