Brusilovsky Street

By | The streets of southern capital

Brusilovsky Street Street named after Y.G. Burisilovsky runs from north to south almost through the center of Tastak microdistrict in Almaly district of Almaty city. It found its present name only in the period of the sovereignty of our country, and until the middle 1990s, this street was named after Lev Rudnev.

Yevgeny Grigorievich Brusilovsky (1905—1981) was the Soviet composer, People’s Artist of the Kazakh SSR (1936), Laureate of Stalin Prize of the second degree (1948).

He is an author of the first Kazakh operas and orchestral works. Nine operas, four ballet, nine symphonies and about 500 songs and romances were written by the composer.
He is co-author of the National Anthem’s of Kazakhstan music of 1945-1992 and 1992-2006.

In 1931 Yevgeny Grigorievich graduated from the Leningrad Conservatory. He arrived in Alma-Ata with the direction of the USSR Union of Composers in 1933. He succeeded to get quickly into the depths of the Kazakh melodies, to feel them, and, as they say, to express the echo of his creative reading of Kazakh folk music in the sounds of classical music forms.
The life around Brusilovsky became bright and active. Young musically gifted Kazakhs reach out for him. During the lifetime Yevgeny Brusilovsky could be proud not with only solidly written works, but also with pleiad of talented students who have become the classics of the first Kazakh professional music.

The name of Yevgeny Brusilovsky stands among such leading figures of Kazakhstan classical music as Ahmet Zhubanov, Mukan Tulebaev, Latif Hamidi, Yerkegali Rakhmadiyev, Bakhytzhan Baikadamov, Sydyk Mukhamedzhanov.

Student life in Israel

By | Alem – support of young talents

Student life in Israel Six months ago, the Saby Foundation awarded grants for education at the Higher School of Computer of Israel to five best graduates of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Almaty. Immediately after the departure of our students we monitor their progress and life and today we are excited to receive news about their achievement of good results in study.

But not all seemed so rosy and easy for the students upon arrival in a foreign country. At first, the guys could not get used to the delivery mode that is different from our one, felt the language barrier as 85% of their fellow-students spoke Hebrew. The lecturers and supervisors of the Institution of Israel helped them to cope with the difficulties they had combining the Kazakh and Israeli students into a single cohesive and friendly team.

The Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Israel has provided substantial help in adaptation of the students often inviting them to the events organized in honor of the national holidays of the country, such as the 25th anniversary of Independence of Kazakhstan, New Year, etc.

Despite the difficult curriculum, the guys enjoy studying at the Israeli University. According to them all lecturers are tolerant and the fellow students are very friendly and kindly.
