The theme of the concert is “Smiling and Feeling Sad Together with Music” (basic aesthetic categories in music). The works included in the program will demonstrate to children the entire range of human emotions expressed in music. The works of Russian, Kyrgyz and European composers will be heard in the program. 

The concerts are conducted through using interactive educational methods, which allow the children to actively participate in the concert, talk to musicians and performers, and, correspondingly, remember the material covered. 

The event will take place at the Kyrgyz National Conservatory on ul. Jantosheva 115. 

The event begins at 15:00.
