It is not the first time ever, the talented violinist with a phenomenal memory and subtle pianist are used to play the music of Turkmen composers.

These concerts were a really boffo success always. The audience has discovered a new Turkmenistan, its amazing culture and traditions – wealth that memorized in music and that does not need any language support.
