In the Kremlin Palace in the capital of Russia, a significant concert was held dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the international contest "Romansiada" and the celebration of the Day of Russian Romance. This event brought together both renowned masters and young performers on one stage, among whom the artists from Kyrgyzstan stood out brightly.
One of the most memorable moments of the evening was the performance of 11-year-old Arsen Mukhtarbekov, who represents the village of Belovodskoye. In 2025, he became the youngest winner of the Grand Prix of the contest, forever inscribing his name in the history of "Romansiada." At the Kremlin, Arsen performed alongside Safiya Kholova from Tajikistan and Ivan Kotlov from Russia, singing the anthem of the contest accompanied by the children's choir "Brevis," symbolizing cultural unity and the continuity of talents.
The honored artist of Kyrgyzstan, Tilek Naimanbaev, added a national flavor to the program by performing the romance "Selkige" by composer Kalyi Moldobasanov. The audience warmly welcomed this piece in the Kyrgyz language, noting the high mastery of the performer, who had already won an award at the "Central Asian Romansiada" in 2017.
According to information from the Russian House in Bishkek, the anniversary concert was attended by the People's Artist of Russia Nikolai Baskov, who also began his musical journey with a victory in this prestigious contest. "Romansiada" continues to play an important role today, opening new opportunities for talented performers from Central Asia and Russia, as well as strengthening humanitarian ties between nations.
