Today, a festive concert titled “Arkadagly Gahryman Serdarymyzyň belent maksatlarynyň aýdyň ýollary” was held at the Mukam Palace of the State Cultural Center of Turkmenistan. It was dedicated to the successes achieved by our country under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

The celebration was preceded by an exhibition that unfolded in the Palace lobby, featuring works of decorative and applied art and jewelry created by talented craftsmen, including Turkmen women.

The works of fine art included in the exhibition, along with the successes of our mighty homeland and the achievements of the era of independence, reflected the images of Ahalteke horses. This is deeply symbolic, as 2026 in our country is being held under the motto “Independent Neutral Turkmenistan – the Homeland of Purposeful Winged Steeds.” The exhibition has added special significance to the current event. The festive concert opened with a beautiful and inspiring composition, which reflected the grand achievements being implemented in the era of rebirth of a new era of a powerful state under the wise leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, all in the name of ensuring a prosperous life for the native people. The dynamic development of the country, confidently moving towards new heights of progress, and the transformations carried out thanks to the efforts of Arkadagly Hero Serdar were celebrated.

The celebration continued with a literary and musical composition, in which, through songs and music, the pride, unity, and trust of the Turkmen people in President Serdar Berdimuhamedov were expressed. Such unity, spirituality, and gratitude of the people testify to the inexhaustible love for Arkadagly Hero Serdar.

The festive mood of the concert was enhanced by the performance of representatives of the younger generation – the future of our independent homeland. The musical and choreographic composition performed by them was filled with joy, fun, and the sparkle of children’s creativity.

The rich concert program reflected the wealth and diversity of modern Turkmen art, as well as the wide range of its genres and creative schools. The beautiful stage design, the vibrant performances by art masters, the energetic dances, and the inspiring songs made an indelible impression on the audience. All of this has increased the pride of the Turkmen people in their independent, consistently neutral homeland, which has entered a new stage of development.

The audience, which included delegates to the upcoming meeting of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, greeted the performances of popular artists with enthusiastic applause. The festive concert harmoniously combined the experience and professionalism of stage masters with the creative endeavors of young talents. The song “Arkadag şäheri,” performed in Turkmen and English, particularly delighted the audience.

The concert program was continued by performances by famous folk and pop singers, as well as musical and folklore groups, which were accompanied by the display of videos reflecting the rapid development of modern independent Turkmenistan.

The high level of spirituality and the atmosphere of joy that reigned in the Mukam Palace increased the people’s pride in the new historical era, marked by great achievements and important events, as well as in the creative initiatives of the Hero‑Arkadag and the President of Turkmenistan.

The high level of choreographic skill and artistry of the dance groups, which delighted the audience with their talent and virtuoso performances, gave the musical numbers a special expressiveness. The use of modern technologies on stage added a unique flavor to the celebration, making the performances even more vibrant.

The audience rewarded the singers, musicians, and dance groups with loud applause for their enthusiasm in celebrating the achievements of our country in all areas.

The masters of art praised the independent Motherland, the grandiose achievements realized as part of the transformations led by Arkadagly Hero Serdar, who worthily continued the undertakings of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, the beauty of his native land and the enduring universal values.

The song "Kalbymda sen", based on the words and music of Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, which has already won the hearts of listeners, was greeted with prolonged ovations from the audience.

The concert culminated in the rousing kushtdepdi dance. As an excellent example of folk art, this dance is a vivid illustration of the harmonious fusion of past traditions and the creative energy of modernity. Today, this ancient art of singing and dancing, included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, is acquiring new content that resonates with the spirit of the times.

The concert concluded with the song “Şöhrat bolsun, şan bolsun, gahryman Arkadagymyza, Arkadagly Serdarymyza!” The inspiring words and the beautiful melody have deepened in the hearts of Turkmen people the pride in the country’s successes, the confidence in a bright future, and the love for their native homeland, which is moving forward along the path of creation and progress with the swiftness of a stallion, together with the Hero‑Arkadag and under the leadership of the Arkadagly Hero Serdar.

The current concert has become a vivid testament to the fact that our country celebrates significant dates in its life at a high level, including in the year marked by the celebration of the 35th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s independence.
