This year marks the 120th anniversary of the birth of Akhmet Kuanuly Zhubanov, the founder of Kazakh professional music, an academician, conductor, and composer. On this significant occasion, the Kazakh State Academic Philharmonic named after Zhambyl warmly congratulates you all on this milestone celebration.

Akhmet Zhubanov is a golden pillar of national spirituality, a unique figure who combined traditional art with European classical forms and elevated it to a new level. His name is inscribed in golden letters in the history of Kazakh musical culture.

A great leader of national music
The foundation of a professional school: under his direct initiative, the first orchestras were formed, and traditional kyuis gained symphonic expression.

Scientific legacy: his works “Strings of Centuries” and “Kurmangazy” are unparalleled studies revealing the essence of kyui art.

Composer’s signature: the opera “Abai” and dozens of instrumental works have become gems of national classics.

“It is impossible to imagine the history of Kazakh music without Akhmet Zhubanov. He preserved the treasures of the past and defined the course for the future.”

Today, the philharmonic’s team continues to carry the great master’s legacy and tirelessly promotes his immortal heritage. The maestro’s spirit will continue to soar in every melody!

Happy anniversary, dear friends! May the prestige of our national art continue to rise!
