Karaganda artists won the silver prize of the World Dance Festival

- Our artists performed with dignity, conquered the audience. The audience approached and asked more about the numbers: what kind of music, who is the composer. The jury also highly appreciated the choreography and playing of folk instruments, noted the variety of numbers. Our collectives were awarded the second place, - says Bayan Akhmetzhanova, deputy head of the Karaganda Concert Association named after K. Bayzhanov.
