The most large-scale event took place for fans of the author's song in Western Kazakhstan – the Steppe Accord Festival.

Chord on wind wings

In the eighth time, the city of Aktobe met guests from different parts of Kazakhstan and Russia. And collected them on the picturesque beach of the Sazdinsky reservoir. The organizers were akimat Aktobe, "City House of Culture" and the Bard Club "Ryukzak" led by Roman and Olga Akchurina.

The festival turned out to be a few, but representative. Among the guests were Roman Lankin (Tomsk) – Chairman of the Jury, Yuri Karpov (Samara), Gulzada Besembayeva (Nur-Sultan), Nikolay Zverev (Shymkent), North Wind – Eduard Two-day and Nargiz Zholmbetova (Almaty), Vladimir and Elena Shadrins (Orenburg).

Thanks to the saturated program, all participants were constantly busy and passionate. Children painted, built sand castles, solved puzzles. At the scene, except for the contestants were honored guests, ensembles and even a pop-fruch orchestra. In the tent town day and night songs flowed. Until the dawn, people sat near the fires and did not want to disperse.

Of the minuses, you can only be called one thing – not all the present authors decided to decide to contest. I did not have enough participants and spirit of struggle. But it only confirms the words of the organizers that the "Steppe Accord" come to the native home to just relax, enjoy the moment and give the soul to open their wings.

Despite the small number of contestants, the program was saturated. According to the results of the competition, the club "Tonic" from Almaty received the largest number of awards: Lada Lobanova, Marina Tevet and Eleonor Bobrova became the winners of the winners, and the festival Grand Prix won the ensemble "Four L" (Irina Loboda, Lada Lobanova, Lyuba Tchaikovskaya and Leonid Ternov – in the photo).

Among the young performers under the age of 13, Elizabeth Kiroo and Anna Panchenko from Aktobe. Older guys, from 14 to 18 years old, also surprised Polyana with his extraordinary voices. The laureates among them were Cyril Schumansky (Orenburg) and Alina Bogdanova (Aktobe).

Three festival days were rushed rapidly than the Aktobe Wind, which accompanied us throughout the event. Goodbye does not like no one, but the idea that in the year Aktobe will again open its wide hugs, we will warm our souls.
