🎶 Learning Process for Young Musicians: The project’s working group, consisting of musicians Cholpon Turumbayeva, Rysbek Junushov, Zalina Kasymova, and the master of traditional musical instrument crafting Marat Berikbayev, has completed the process of modifying the structure of the kyl kyyak to enable it to easily produce the “koñur ýn” (traditional Kyrgyz music). This week, the project’s working group started the training phase for young musicians to play on the reconstructed kyl kyyaks. The final goal of training this group of musicians in playing reconstructed komuz and kyl kyyak is their integration with the reconstructed instruments into the orchestra of the B. Beishenaliev University of Culture and Arts and the performance of a concluding concert.
