The KNC is of great importance for the development of art and culture in Kyrgyzstan, as it is the only educational institution in Kyrgyzstan that trains high-level professionals and performers for symphony orchestras, choral groups, teachers, singers, and performers, and promotes classical and folk music among the masses.
Thanks to their training at the KNC, our students demonstrate their mastery of performance in their future teaching and performing activities, their ability to reveal the artistic image of the works they perform, their ability to teach aspiring musicians, and to instill a love of aesthetic beauty, music, and art in general.
