Alem Program: Opened to All Talents

Azamat Malyshov from Rudny city, a new participant of the Alem Young Talents Support Program, joined the ranks of ‘singing Alem participants’.

Two years ago, upon the graduation of Kostanai State University, Azamat made an unexpected for all but very desirable and fateful choice: he decided to enter the vocal department of Almaty Music Conservatory and to become a singer. The study at pre-entry courses strengthened his intention; moreover, the chance to obtain a study grant was rather high, as according to the entrance examination results, he received 85 points. But new articles of the education law, introduced in 2011, nearly broke all his dreams of stage, because now state grants are not rewarded to those who already have higher education. The financial situation of the Malyshovs does not allow to pay for the education 4,000 c.u. per annum.

But as the folk wisdom tells: “When one door closes, another opens”. The most important thing is to find it and knock at it. It was exactly as the resolute young man did, addressing Saby Charitable Foundation with a request to help him in the difficult situation. Having auditioned the young man, the expert of the Alem Program, famous musician, composer and producer Rinat Gaisin evaluated his talent and recommended him as a young talent worth supporting.

Today, having overcome all difficulties and stresses, Azamat successfully studies at Kurmangazy Kazakh National Conservatory under the grant of Saby Foundation and knows for sure that miracles happen, you should just truly believe in it.
