The program features contemporary and Baroque music, premiere works by composers with disabilities, as well as pieces that will be performed in Kazakhstan for the first time. This will be the first academic concert in the venue’s history, and the program will be performed only once.

The concert will feature Scottish composer and musician Ben Lunn, a chamber orchestra conducted by Arshat Sharip, and soloists including visually impaired vocalist Aisulu Turymbek. The performance will be accompanied by generative visuals by Mikhail Grigoriev and Alpamys Batyr.

The project is realised by the cultural initiative Music Unbound together with the Tselinny Center of Contemporary Culture, in partnership with Drake Music Scotland, as part of the British Council’s Connections Through Culture grant program.
