Rhythms of Brazil
THE CONCERT IS HELD IN KAZAKH AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES
Polina Hanym is the new stage name of Polina Tyrina. Beginning her musical journey in a club for bard song enthusiasts, Polina has captured the hearts of music industry professionals. In 2019, she joined Konstantin Meladze’s team on “The Voice” show, and in 2021, she represented Kazakhstan at the Sharjah Heritage Days in the UAE.
At the end of 2023, she released the single Qazaq Bossa Nova—three world-famous bossa nova standards translated into Kazakh. In February 2024, the capital of Brazil hosted a concert to present the Qazaq Bossa Nova project. For many years, Polina has collaborated with the Brazilian Embassy in Kazakhstan, participating in celebrations marking Brazil’s 200th anniversary of independence.
The concert features well-known musicians performing alongside Polina HANYM, including saxophonist Akzhol ISIN, a winner of international and national competitions and a graduate of the Roosevelt University’s Jazz and Contemporary Music Faculty in “Jazz Saxophone” (Chicago, USA). He is also an alumnus of the Conservatory of Music É.R. Duni in Matera, Italy (2012-13). Akzhol has performed as the principal saxophonist for the wind orchestra and jazz big band of the State Philharmonic of Astana, the Central Military Orchestra of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and as a guest soloist for the Astana Opera Symphony Orchestra. Dmitry STAROVEROV (percussion), an artist of the pop-symphony orchestra “Astana,” will also be participating.
