A magnificent concert was held at the Kremlin Palace in Moscow, celebrating 30 years of the international contest "Romanсиада" and the day of the Russian romance. On this festive evening, both recognized masters and young performers gathered on the main stage of Russia, among whom the representatives of Kyrgyzstan stood out.
The performance of 11-year-old Arsen Mukhtarbekov from the village of Belovodskoye became the highlight of the evening. In 2025, he entered the history of the contest as the youngest Grand Prix winner. In the Kremlin, Arsen performed in an international ensemble alongside Safiya Kholova from Tajikistan and Ivan Kotlov from Russia, singing the anthem of "Romanсиада" with the support of the children's choir "Brevis," symbolizing the unity of cultures and the continuity of talents.
Honored Artist of Kyrgyzstan Tilek Naimanbaev added a national flavor to the evening's program by performing the romance "Selkige" by Kaliya Moldobasanov. The audience warmly welcomed his performance in the Kyrgyz language, highly appreciating the artistry of the performer, who became the winner of the "Central Asian Romanсиада" in 2017.
According to information from the Russian House in Bishkek, the anniversary concert also featured People's Artist of Russia Nikolai Baskov, who began his career with a victory in this well-known contest. To this day, "Romanсиада" continues to fulfill an important mission, opening new opportunities for talented performers from Central Asia and Russia, as well as strengthening humanitarian ties between peoples.
