Kazakhstan’s National Guard choir turns riverboat into floating concert

The National Guard’s male choir performed patriotic marches, contemporary songs, and traditional Kazakh folk music, turning a sightseeing cruise into a festive concert. The performance drew the attention of residents and visitors relaxing along the capital’s riverfront.

A highlight of the event was a solo dombyra performance by Major Bauyrzhan Makayev, a recipient of the Order of Kurmet, which added a distinct national character to the program and drew enthusiastic applause from the audience.

As the riverboat sailed along the embankment, many people stopped to watch the concert, recording the performance on their phones, singing along to familiar melodies, and applauding the artists. The unusual venue resonated with the audience, creating a festive atmosphere in the city.

According to the organizers, such cultural initiatives are becoming a tradition within Kazakhstan’s National Guard, showcasing not only the service members’ professionalism and service qualities but also their creative potential and strengthening ties with the public through cultural projects.
