audience,
known
be
very
critical
and
hard
to

enjoyed
the

thoroughly

for
their
quality.

of
Turkey,

Kazakh
musician
and

Bisengaliev
had
a
great
role
in
the
creation
of
the
SOI.
Suntook
stated,
“In
2003,
although,
it
was
a
free
evening
in
London,
I
purchased
a
ticket
only
to
watch
the
performance
of
the
Kazakh
orchestra.
I
was
very
happy
at
his
performance
and
invited
Marat
to
our
country."
Mr.
Marat
accepted
the
invitation
and
helped
to
invite
quality
musicians
teachers
from
Korea,
Russia,
Japan
and
Kazakhstan.

offered
