The Akhmet Zhubanov Aktobe Music College marked its 55th anniversary. Founded in 1971 as a music school, it has trained about 3,000 specialists, who now work in culture and education in Kazakhstan and abroad. Its alumni include Kazakh singer Dimash Qudaibergen.
The anniversary events brought together cultural figures, veterans of education, teachers, students, alumni and invited guests.
The programme began with a press conference featuring college alumni who teach at conservatories, as well as guests from Bashkortostan. Participants shared memories of their student years and spoke about their careers and creative achievements.
