The Ashgabat theater of musical drama named after Magtymguly hosted a concert of the works of composer Danatar Hidyrov. This year the maestro is celebrating his anniversary and in this regard, the festive program has become a kind of musical report for the work done over the years.

Colleagues, friends, fans and students gathered for the creative evening of the hero of the day. Everyone was in a hurry to say words of gratitude and congratulations to Danatar Hidyrov.

The concert with the participation of prominent performers featured compositions of various genres – vocal, chamber-instrumental, choral and orchestral. The performance opened with the work "Independent Turkmenistan" performed by the State Choir.

The concert continued with the performance of the first and second parts of D. Hidyrov's Symphony. This work tells about complex internal contradictions, about the search for the meaning of life and about the eternal struggle of dark and light forces.

Solo numbers performed by the stars of the stage Atageldy Garyagdiyev, Atajan Berdiyev, as well as other vocalists became the real decorations of the evening. The audience learned their favorite tunes of the songs "To My Daughters", "Reflection", "Joyful Day", "My Land" and sang along to the artists.

Hidyrov composes music to poems by classics of Turkmen literature, and also actively cooperates with contemporary poets, including writer, playwright and screenwriter Hemra Shirov. Together with him, the composer created not only songs, but also music for dramatic performances, which entered the golden repertoire of theaters in the country.

Danatar Hidyrov is also a mentor of young composers. Passing on the secrets of mastery to them, he never tires of repeating: "There is no limit to perfection. It is necessary to constantly learn and improve, read and develop."

At the end of the festive concert, the audience approached the composer and thanked him for the wonderful music, for the amazing melodies on which more than one generation of Turkmen people grew up.
