For the first time ever, a Kazakh orchestra performs in Great Britain to celebrate 25 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. With performances in London, Dublin and Manchester, their visit launches a new project, Modern Kazakh Culture in a Global World.

The Kazakh Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra is one of the best established ensembles of Kazakhstan. Joined by famous Canadian violinist Lara St. John and multi-award winning Kazakh clarinettist Bekturgan Zholaman, their programme includes works by contemporary Kazakh composers alongside works from the core European canon.
