First of all, it is an honor to be a recipient of Batyr’s name scholarship, and my family and I are very proud of it. Everyday practice is a part of my life and I’m glad they singled me out. When my teacher Tasmukhan Issenov and I decided to apply for this scholarship, I wanted to play live and send a new recording, but quarantine separated me from my accompanist, Zhanar Khiduanova, and we had to send a video of my last performance with the orchestra at the Philharmonic in Almaty. I plan to finish 12th grade at my Zhubanov school, study abroad and play solo in symphony orchestras.
