Musical-historical factors of evolution of organ art of Kazakhstan in 2000-2023

Organ art, which has deep roots in the European cultural tradition, occupies a worthy place in the musical space of Kazakhstan. The article is devoted to the analysis of historical factors that contributed to the development of organ art in the republic. The relevance of the study is conditioned not only by the rarity of such works in the context of the selected region, but also by the continuing interest in the organ heritage as an element of intercultural dialog. It should be emphasized that national organ art is not limited exclusively to performance practice. It also includes the study of organ building, the structure of musical works, and the interaction between the musical traditions of East and West. The article pays special attention to the identification of regularities and national originality associated with the peculiarities of the development of organ art in Kazakhstan, as well as to the study of the third stage covering the years 2000-2023. It is worth noting that the selected period has exceptional characteristics; hence, the description of the key moments in the evolution of modern domestic organ culture seems important and timely. The methodological basis of the work was formed by historical, comparative and analytical principles of research, which allow to study in depth the Kazakh organ school, existing musical instruments from the point of view of their structure, as well as the organ repertoire of domestic composers, taking into account the diversity of genres and style canons. The materials of the work will find application in the courses of lectures on the history of Kazakh music, on organ performance, on instrumentology, as well as in the creative activity of performers and composers of Kazakhstan. The study of three leading vectors, including organ building, composer's creativity and performing practice, allowed to understand more deeply the mechanisms of integration of organ art into the musical culture of Kazakhstan and to reveal the tendencies of its further development in the context of globalization and cultural diversity.
