Kazakhstan Gears Up for Second Nationwide Dombyra Players’ Challenge

Astana, The Gulf Observer: The Ministry of Enlightenment of the Republic of Kazakhstan has announced the upcoming launch of the second edition of the nationwide dombyra players’ challenge, scheduled to commence on March 20.

The dombyra challenge, initiated for the first time last year and embraced by educational institutions throughout the country, is strategically timed to coincide with the Nauryz celebrations. Nauryz, a festival marking the arrival of spring and renewal, is a significant cultural and social event in Kazakhstan.

All individuals, including school students, youth, teachers, and parents, are encouraged to participate in this unique event, as emphasized by Meuert Medetbekova, the Director of the Ministry’s Educational Work and Extracurricular Education Department. The inclusive nature of the challenge underscores its role in fostering a sense of unity and appreciation for the Kazakh musical art.

Nauryz celebrations in educational institutions across Kazakhstan are set to take place from March 14 to March 23, providing a vibrant backdrop for the dombyra challenge. Alongside this musical initiative, other challenges, a nationwide ecological campaign, and national games competitions are anticipated, contributing to the festive and cultural atmosphere of the Nauryz festivities.

This nationwide initiative not only showcases the importance of preserving and promoting traditional musical instruments but also underscores the commitment of Kazakhstan to celebrate its cultural richness and heritage. As participants eagerly await the launch on March 20, the second edition of the dombyra players’ challenge promises to be a remarkable and unifying cultural experience for all involved.
