About the Festival

We are proud to announce the return of the Eurasian Stars International Music Festival, which will take place from the 22nd of September to the 3rd of October 2025, bringing together some of the world's most esteemed classical musicians for an exhilarating series of performances across multiple venues, including Uzbekistan's Palace of International Forums, the Alisher Navoi State Academic Grand Theatre, and the Great Hall of the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan.

Now in its seventh edition, Eurasian Stars continues its mission to unite East and West through music, featuring an exceptional line-up of international soloists and renowned conductors, accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan, and the State Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan. Under the artistic leadership of celebrated Uzbek conductor Alibek Kabdurakhmanov, this year's festival promises to be the most ambitious yet, offering a rich programme that blends timeless masterpieces with virtuosic brilliance.

The 2025 edition will feature a total of eight major concerts, each one a unique exploration of musical excellence. Highlights include the return of Uzbek piano sensation Behzod Abduraimov, whose interpretations continue to captivate global audiences, as well as appearances by such legends of the concert stage as Maxim Vengerov, Mikhail Pletnev, and Sergey Krylov. Other featured soloists include violinist Marc Bouchkov, pianists Yekwon Sunwoo and Stanislav Ioudenitch, and cellist Alexander Chaushian.

The conducting roster will be led by Alibek Kabdurakhmanov himself, alongside the internationally acclaimed maestros Sergey Smbatyan, Kamoliddin Urinbaev, and Gevorg Gharabekyan, each of whom will be bringing their signature energy and insight to the podium in performances that aim to inspire and delight.

Each evening of the festival promises a carefully curated journey through some of the greatest works in the classical repertoire, delivered by an ensemble of musicians at the peak of their powers. As always, Eurasian Stars remains committed to fostering cultural dialogue through the universal language of music, and this 2025 edition promises to stand as a shining example of that mission in action!
