The thoughts of the educator and poet Abai Kunanbaev, and his words of edification are relevant to this day. Today’s performance is a synthesis of cultures, it organically intertwined the customs and traditions of the Kazakh and Korean peoples with the works of the poet. Live accompaniment, Abai’s songs, Korean plasticity, and the philosophy of the unity of opposites did not leave the audience indifferent. Abai’s works were performed in Kazakh and Korean languages in a single harmonious consonance. The premiere was held at a high level. The audience warmly accepted the performance and did not let the artists go for a long time.
