Students of Pavlodar State University came back with two sets of awards from the Republican Art Parade of the singing competitions “Music Season: Autumn”, which was held in the city of Astana.

Vocalists from Astana, Karaganda, Pavlodar and Semey took part in the contest. S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University was presented by Moldir Maybas and Sunkaray Kulbayeva, students of the Department of Performing Arts.

The jury included experts in the field of music, composers of Kazakhstan and teachers. The performance of the participants was evaluated by closed voting.

Moldir Maybas became the winner in the nomination "Pop vocal",  natural charm and professional vision of the material allowed the student to perform the song "Altyn besik" in masterly fashion. She won the hearts of the members of the jury, rendering the emotional component of the song, and fascinated listeners by the help of open sounds.

The third place in the nomination "Academic vocal" was won by Sunkaray Kulbayeva. She sang the Kazakh folk song "Gaukhartas". The peculiarity of her performance was that Sunkaray presented her interpretation, making a departure from the traditional performance, to which listeners became accustomed.

As the vocalists note, participation in the republican contest has become a good creative experience, provided an opportunity to compare themselves with professionals, learn from other contestants. This gives a motivation for the constant striving to master the professional skills and sharpen the performing skills.
