Ljubljana, 12 March 2026 – The concert hall of the Academy of Music at the University of Ljubljana became the venue for a remarkable cultural event. With the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the Republic of Slovenia, an evening dedicated to art and friendship between the two countries took place. The concert was organized in cooperation with a professor of the University of Ljubljana, renowned Kazakh‑German cellist Eldar Saparayev, and the “Botti‑Celli” ensemble composed of Kazakhstani students.
The event was attended by members of the diplomatic corps, friends of Kazakhstan, international guests of Ljubljana, as well as representatives of Slovenia’s business and public circles, who filled the hall with an atmosphere of genuine cultural unity. The evening held special significance for Kazakhstani citizens living in Slovenia, as it took place on the eve of the national referendum in Kazakhstan on 15 March and ahead of the celebration of Nauryz – a time symbolizing spring renewal, peace, and harmony. The classical music program reflected these values and resonated deeply with the audience.
The concert became another vivid contribution to strengthening cultural ties between Kazakhstan and Slovenia. Filled with music, inspiration, and a spirit of friendship, the evening once again demonstrated the power of art to unite people and create a space of mutual understanding.
