Autumn vitamin deficiency affects everything. With the arrival of autumn, everything around slows down. It is increasingly difficult to wake up in the morning and it is increasingly difficult to break free from the embrace of cozy blankets. You want to freeze, contemplating the last warm days, and catch your zen. Or just hibernate until summer.

— Oh, motivation, where are you? How to find the strength and desire to move forward? - we exclaim, lazily tossing and turning on the couch. But, of course, the best remedy against autumn melancholy and blues is music. Only it can inspire us to accomplish great things. Now do you understand why the celebration of Music Day falls in the autum?

And this autumn, the chamber ensemble department of the Maya Kulieva TNC held a preventive festive concert dedicated to Music Day. The organizer of the event is senior teacher of the conservatory, diploma winner of international competitions Faramazova Stella Vladimirovna. As befits a real professional and great artist, she and her colleagues spent their professional holiday on stage.

The concert program, like a vitamin smoothie, was made up of music for every taste. On this day, works in Turkmen, Russian, Italian were performed from the stage, there were both vocal and instrumental numbers.

Ashgabat residents have long loved the concerts held by Stella Vladimirovna. They give music lovers the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the world of professional, carefully selected and well-performed music. Stella Vladimirovna's creative team even has its own circle of fans who do not miss a single concert.

The musical evening opened with the Turkmen folk melody "Burny aşak" performed by Honored Artist of Turkmenistan Osman Gudzhimov. The charming melody overflowed from under the musician's fingers and, like the intricate patterns of a beautiful carpet, intertwined and unraveled among themselves.

The famous Schubert "Serenade" was performed by vocalist Keik Artykova accompanied by accompanist Maya Beimanova. The Serenade, despite its almost two hundred years of age, as always, sounded fresh, girlishly tender, subtle and lyrical.

International competition laureate Ainur Otuzova performed the most difficult Rachmaninoff Prelude. Yes, that very one - "C-sharp minor", in which thunderous peals, cannon volleys and the sound of the surf are heard. It is generally accepted that to perform Rachmaninoff's powerful masculine preludes, one needs good performing technique, large strong palms and a strong hand. But the fragile, graceful Ainur masterfully coped with this piece.

The charming "Adagio" from Glazunov's ballet "Raymonda" was performed by the laureate of international competitions, winner of the Delphic Games, violinist Seyran Ataniyazov. Stella Faramazova accompanied him at the piano. The bow in Seyran's hands fluttered with airy ease, as if drawing ballet steps in the air.

The duet of the piano and the bow was replaced by the creative tandem of mother and daughter. The audience's favorite, Honored Artist of Turkmenistan Bibidzhemal Amanova performed "Zazdravnaya" by composer Dunaevsky. As if in honor of the heroes of the occasion - the musicians, this toast song sounded. The second musical gift from Bibidzhemal and Merjen for the guests of the evening and for colleagues was Lauretta's aria from Puccini's opera "Gianni Schicchi".

The concert continued with the performance of the Altyn Asyr award winner Bakhar Durdyeva and Honored Artist of Turkmenistan, pianist Vladimir Mkrtumov. They masterfully performed two romances by Tchaikovsky, "It was early in the spring" and "Does the day reign?" Throughout the performance of the charming, sweet and feminine Bakhar, smiles did not leave the faces of the audience.

And again Stella Vladimirovna is at the piano. And with her is a young and talented violinist, laureate of international competitions Dzhemal Agadzhanova. And the hall is filled with the whimsical oriental melodies of Khachaturian's "Poem". The musical canvas recreated by Dzhemal amazed with the brightness and richness of colors and nuances. This melody has everything. Light and darkness, struggle and overcoming obstacles, and as a logical conclusion - happiness and peace.

The concert continued with a solo appearance by maestro Vladimir Mkrtumov. He performed Brahms' "Intermezzo", as if inviting listeners to his upcoming concert, in which he and the orchestra will perform Brahms' piano concerto - a serious and large-scale work. The demo version of Brahms was received with a bang by the guests of the evening.

Then the host announced that that evening a romance based on the words of Magtymguly "Love" by the Turkmen composer Aina Shirova would be performed in an arrangement for violin. This piece was specially created for performance at the international festival at the Moscow State Conservatory named after Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. As is known, the Moscow State Conservatory named after Tchaikovsky is a kind of musical Mecca, a shrine for all musicians. There is no musician who would not dream of performing in the hall of this famous institution. And naturally, after such an announcement, the intrigued listeners froze in anticipation.

The star of the Turkmen violin art, a graduate of the Gnessin Music Academy, laureate of international competitions, and a teacher at the conservatory, Aibolek Mukhieva, came on stage. The instrument did not just sing in her hands, it seemed to speak to the audience, complaining and crying. The melody told of the poet Magtymguly's unrealizable love for the beautiful Mengli, with whom he was not destined to unite. When the romance ended, some touched listeners applauded, raising their hands high above their heads. And after the concert, the guests approached the performers and shared their impressions and enthusiastic reviews of this piece.

Aibolek Mukhieva's next number was Sarasate's "Gypsy Tunes". The fiery melody and virtuoso passages exuded joy and fun, painting pictures of gypsy dances around the fire and the nomadic life of the camp.

The winner of the Altyn Asyr award, singer Begench Moshiev performed Kurtis's song "I Will Never Forget You" and Nury Halmammedov's romance "Duran ýerlerne". Begench's pleasant timbre, excellent voice control and artistry were warmly welcomed by the guests of the evening. Begench's fans, or rather female fans, love him for his gallant manners, intelligence and bright talent.

The concert was continued by the duet of violinists Aibolek Mukhieva and Seyran Ataniyazov. Together they performed Frolov's "Divertimento". And the music festival ended with Nury Mukhadov's song "Gel Türkmenistana!", performed by all the participants of the concert. The enthusiastic audience applauded the musicians. Shouts of admiration were heard from the audience. And the heroes of the occasion, tired but happy, basked in well-deserved applause and accepted congratulations on Music Day.

Despite the late hour, the guests of the evening left the hall cheerful and energetic. Here it is - the beneficial influence of art! Musicians save us from spiritual vitamin deficiency, help us stay in shape, do not let us lose heart and find new resources and inspiration in solving everyday problems. Happy holiday to you, dear musical doctors and healers of our souls!
