In the halls of the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow, a grand concert was held dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the international competition "Romansiada" and the Day of Russian Romance. This festive evening brought together both renowned masters and new talents, among which performers from Kyrgyzstan stood out.
One of the most memorable moments was the performance of 11-year-old Arsen Mukhtarbekov, who hails from the village of Belovodskoye. In 2025, he made history at "Romansiada" by becoming the youngest winner of the Grand Prix of the competition. In the Kremlin, Arsen performed alongside Safiya Kholova from Tajikistan and Ivan Kotlov from Russia, and together with the children's choir "Brevis," they sang the anthem of the competition, symbolizing the unity of cultures and the continuity of talents.
The honored artist of Kyrgyzstan, Tilek Naimanbaev, added a national flavor to the evening's program by performing the romance "Selkige" by Kalyy Moldobasanov. The audience warmly welcomed the performance in the Kyrgyz language, highly appreciating the artist's mastery, who won the "Central Asian Romansiada" in 2017.
According to the Russian House in Bishkek, the jubilee concert was also attended by the People's Artist of Russia Nikolai Baskov, who began his path to fame with a victory at this prestigious competition. Today, "Romansiada" continues to play an important role, opening new opportunities for talented performers from Central Asia and Russia, as well as fostering the strengthening of humanitarian ties between peoples.
