About myself . I welcome everyone to my page. Thank you for your interest. I compose music in different styles and genres: musicals, music for the theater, choirs, chamber, modern academic, rock music, jazz, vocal instrumental. Most of my work is arrangements of Kazakh folklore for an ensemble of saxophonists , for saxophone and piano, for the orchestra of Kazakh folk instruments, jazz ensembles, big band. He began to compose at the age of 16. The first "opuses" were pop songs for small vocal and instrumental ensembles. After entering the College of Music, I began to get involved in world musical culture: choral and symphonic music. The first works for choir and pianoforte preludes appeared. Really serious work in the field of composition began after graduating from the conservatory. What else can you say about yourself? Work a lot . I love my craft. I wish the same to all my colleagues. Long live the power of art!
