The delicate and meaningful interpretation of our national music evoked warm emotions, enhancing the authentic spirit of the Navro‘z holiday and bringing it to life even further.
The goal of the event was not only to highlight art and culture but also to instill the rich cultural heritage of our people into the minds of the youth, to preserve and protect our national values, and to pass them on to future generations. In addition, it became one of the major events aimed at deepening the understanding of the importance of Uzbek literature and music and contributing to their further development.
