On March 12, a concert was held in Balakchy to mark the opening of a new library named after Saparbek Kasmambetov — an outstanding Kyrgyz manaschi, Turkologist, and researcher of the epic "Manas." The event featured soloists from the Kyrgyz National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet named after A. Maldybaev.
The organizer of this event was Cholpon Junushbaeva, the director of the local school of arts named after Bulat Minzhilkiyev.

Additionally, students from vocal departments in Cholpon-Ata, Kara-Balta, and the village of Belovodskoye also delighted the audience with their performances of romances and songs.
The children had a unique opportunity to interact with professional artists in a relaxed atmosphere, ask questions, and learn more about the behind-the-scenes of the theater.
