The evening will begin at 19:00. Before the programme, a special exhibition in the foyer will showcase the life and stage career of the artist.

The organisers approach the event not as a formal anniversary, but as an attempt to rediscover and present the scale of Tamara Khanum’s artistic legacy, without which the history of the Uzbek stage in the 20th century would be difficult to imagine. The programme features dance and vocal performances from Tamara Khanum’s repertoire, performed by leading ensembles and soloists. The concert is conceived as a living revival of her unique stage language.

Tamara Khanum, born Tamara Petrosyan on 29 March 1906 in New Margilan, entered history as one of the key figures of Uzbek stage dance. Her name is associated not only with performance art but also with the institutional development of culture. Publications commemorating her anniversary emphasise her contribution to the establishment of the Choreographic School and the State Conservatory in Uzbekistan.

Today, her legacy is preserved in her house museum in Tashkent, which houses her costumes, posters, photographs, manuscripts and personal belongings. According to descriptions of the museum’s exhibition, her stage costumes formed the core of her artistic identity, and the museum itself is located in the very home where Tamara Khanum spent her final years.

Tickets for the concert are already on sale.
