We have known and loved Yerkesh Shakeyev for many years through his songs, performed by Batyrkhan Shukenov and the A-studio band. Now the poet and composer is creating neoclassical music. He’s collaborated with three famous British orchestras to produce a dozen vinyl records, and is getting ready for a concert in London. He never stops composing music that stirs the senses and purifies the soul.
