The inaugural edition of the festival aims to promote music not only as entertainment but also as a reflection of history, a source of knowledge, and a tradition for the future.
Artists from around the world are performing at the festival, which runs from 24 to 30 November against the backdrop of the Egyptian pyramids.
Dimash, known for his extraordinary six-octave vocal range and called "one of the rarest voices in the world," will headline the festival’s closing concert, accompanied by an impressive ceremony.
He has captivated audiences worldwide with performances that cross linguistic and cultural boundaries.
Coming from a musical family, Dimash began performing at age five and won his first national piano contest at six. He has mastered several instruments and developed a unique vocal technique.
Dimash’s songs reflect his artistic growth and his effort to bridge East and West through music. He draws on his Kazakh roots, embraces a creative philosophy of “no boundaries,” and expresses the emotions that drive his ever-expanding musical universe.
His solo concerts include songs in Kazakh, both traditional pieces arranged in modern styles and new works by himself and other Kazakh composers.
His 26 years of musical training, along with his interest in music from different cultures, allow him to combine elements that might seem impossible to merge. His musical identity lies in blending diverse influences freely, without being bound by rules or conventions.
He believes music is the most direct way to convey a nation’s cultural identity and share unique messages that resonate deeply.
Some of his songs exist in multiple languages; for example, Let It Be, originally written in Chinese, has also been performed in Kazakh.
