The Musical-Dramatic Training College established

The Musical-Dramatic Training College, established in 1931, holds a significant place in the cultural landscape of Kazakhstan as the first institute of higher education dedicated to music. This pioneering institution laid the groundwork for the development of musical education in the country, nurturing generations of talented musicians and performers. In 1933, just two years after its founding, the college contributed to the cultural heritage of Kazakhstan by forming the Orchestra of Kazakh Folk Musical Instruments. This orchestra, named after the renowned 19th-century composer and dombra virtuoso Kurmangazy Sagyrbayuly, plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Kazakh folk music traditions. The college and its associated orchestra have been instrumental in fostering a rich musical environment, leading to the establishment of other prominent musical institutions in Kazakhstan, such as the Kazakh State Kurmangazy Orchestra of Folk Instruments and the Kazakh National Opera. Today, the legacy of the Musical-Dramatic Training College continues to influence the vibrant music scene in Kazakhstan, ensuring that the country's rich cultural heritage is celebrated and passed on to future generations. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #Kazakhstan #MusicalEducation #FolkMusic #CulturalHeritage #Orchestra
