Turkmen performing artists’ concert tour in the Federative Republic of Germany was a big success. The musicians also took part in the 69th International Young Artists Festival in the town of Bayreuth. The concert repertoire included folk and classical music performed by the Chamber Orchestra led by Rasul Klychev. A photo exhibition showcasing our country’s achievements was organized during the tour. The opening ceremony of the festival took place in Bayreuth, the town where two great composers R. Wagner and F. Liszt had lived. Among those attending the event were representatives of artistic circles from different countries, the media, and scores of residents and visitors to the German town, which is world famous for its annual festival founded by Richard Wagner. Performances by our musicians were greeted with enthusiastic applause and drew much interest. The Chamber Orchestra’s concert program consisted of a piece of folk music played on national instruments, works by Nury Khalmamedov, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Astor Piazzolla, and by other world-renowned composers. While on tour, the musicians from Turkmenistan gave some ten concerts. Each of them was a new significant step towards bringing nations and cultures closer together. Held before each concert, the exhibition celebrated distinctively Turkmen traditions. The photographs offered visitors the opportunity to learn about present-day Turkmenistan’s economic achievements and to see with their own eyes historical and cultural monuments built at different times, including the ones that have made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage List. The festival culminated in an ambitious international project that saw the Chamber Orchestra of Turkmenistan, a string orchestra from Israel, a brass quintet from Romania, and a jazz trio from Germany jointly perform the works by German composer and violist Rudolf Haken, who had specially created them for the event.
