Culture and Arts Workers' Day in Kazakhstan
May 21 · Level 4 · #1526 of 2238
Culture and Arts Workers' Day in Kazakhstan is the holiday of actors, musicians, artists, librarians, museum and theatre staff, and everyone who preserves and develops the country's culture.
How it is celebrated: with concerts, exhibitions and creative evenings, while the best employees receive awards and thanks and theatre and library teams are congratulated.
A symbol of Kazakh musical culture is the dombra, a two-stringed lute to whose accompaniment akyns, poet-improvisers, once competed in verse duels.
