Dear readers,
The Kazakh State Academic Philharmonic named after Zhambyl warmly congratulates you on the celebration of one of the key symbols of Kazakh culture — National Dombra Day!
Established in 2018 by presidential decree, this holiday honors the dombra — not merely a musical instrument, but a spiritual treasure reflecting the national identity and rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh people. [1]
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized in his congratulatory message: “The dombra has become an integral element of the Great Steppe civilization. Our common duty is to preserve this cultural asset. Let the melody of the dombra sound in each house!” [1]
Throughout the year, our Philharmonic promotes the gems of Kazakh art, striving to instill a love for national culture and traditions in the younger generation. May the dombra’s melody resonate in every home, uniting hearts and evoking pride in our heritage!
Sincerely,
Kazakh State Academic Philharmonic named after Zhambyl
