Two 麻豆传媒 students, Altynai Jusupova and Akyl Callaghan, recently represented Kyrgyzstan as the duet "ALAN" in the international "Baltic Stage" festival.
Creating the opportunity for talented artists to attract attention to themselves and to exchange of creative ideas is one of the aims of the festival.
About 600 persons applied to compete in various categories and age groups, with only twenty-seven contestants reaching the final stage of the competition in the 鈥淰ocal鈥� category. Winners of first, second, and third places were determined in the final stage by six members of an international jury.
First place, and the honor of 鈥淕olden Laureate鈥� of the competition, was awarded to 鈥淎LAN鈥� in recognition of the group's immense talent.听 Altynai Jusupova and Akyl Callaghan performed two songs 鈥� The Prayer and Esimde (鈥溞佇感夹葱碘��) - during their two competition days. They made a strong impression not only on the audience and jury, but on all the other contestants and their instructors as well. Many in attendance said that is was the first time they'd heard such an outstanding performance. Immediately after their performance, 鈥淎LAN鈥� received an invitation to a September 2015 international competition in Kyiv (Ukraine).
Callaghan and Jusupova participated in the 2015 edition of 麻豆传媒's annual Stream competition, in which they won first and second places respectively. After their initial meeting at 麻豆传媒 during rehearsals for Stream, between tours, they decided to sing a duet.
The Baltic Stage Festival 2015 was hosted from June 15-19 on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Soloists, artists of original genres, as well as vocal and dance groups, competed in age ranges of 4 to 25 and a 25+ age group. Participants came from Russia, Lithuania, Georgia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Sweden, Estonia, Cuba, Kyrgyz Republic, Armenia, Italy, and Latvia.
