Turkmen musicians have participated for the first time in the X World Festival of Orchestras, “One Future,” which was held from July 25 to 28 in Vienna. Therein, they secured the Gold Prize in the Chamber Orchestra category.

The Youth Chamber Orchestra, directed by Rasul Klychev, captivated the audience and jury with its masterful performance of Turkmen melodies and classic foreign pieces. At the festival’s closing ceremony, held in the famous Golden Hall of the Vienna Philharmonic, the Turkmen musicians received the jury’s highest score — forty points.

British conductor Toby Purcer, head of the festival’s creative committee, stated that he highly appreciated the orchestra’s performance and hoped to organize joint concerts in Turkmenistan in the future.
