At the monument square, gathered with an audience, the choir organized a flash mob dedicated to Abai’s 180th anniversary. They performed the song "Kózimnin qarasy," expressing their heartfelt respect for the poet’s work through soulful melodies, showcasing the essence of Kazakh culture to the world. As a gesture of friendship and cultural exchange, they also sang "Arirang," a song symbolic of the Korean people. This touching moment deeply moved listeners and further strengthened the cultural bond between the Kazakh and Korean communities.

By participating in the festival, the choir not only honed their artistic skills but also promoted national art on the international stage. Singing Abai’s song in front of his monument became an unforgettable memory for both the performers and the foreign audience.

Thus, the Astana Chamber Choir not only performed internationally but also set an inspiring example of how honoring great figures can bridge cultures and introduce the world to the richness of Kazakh heritage.
