Following the main principles of hospitality and cultural exchange, the pre-party featured performances by both representatives of the host country and artists showcasing Kazakh culture.

Kenjer and Arlan Abzhanov from Kazakhstan performed on the kobyz and piano, and Kazakh singer and guitarist Erbolat Khussain also represented his homeland.
The evening’s program included a cultural and entertainment exhibition featuring the British Isles and Kazakhstan, an exciting prize lottery, a performance by British Tai Chi champion Emma Lee, and a dombra performance by Andrea from Chile and Kymbat from Kazakhstan.
Little Miss Kausar, representing both Kazakhstan and England, delighted the guests with a short Kazakh language session, while dancer Gulsharat Zhubayeva performed a traditional Kazakh folk dance.
Famous Kazakh director Askhat Maemirov also came to greet Dimash’s fans. On November 13, he will present the play Black Burka by the Kazakh theater The Arts Stage in London.
A particularly emotional moment for the fans was the appearance of Dimash’s parents, Kanat and Svetlana Aitbayeva, along with members of the artist’s team.
Mr. Kanat thanked the Dears for their boundless love for art and endless enthusiasm. He shared that every meeting with fans gives the artists tremendous inspiration and expressed great joy in seeing people from different countries forming friendships while attending Dimash’s concerts.
