Naberezhnye Chelny’s Philharmonic Society is producing a children’s musical titled “The Mystery of the Wings of Sak-Sok.” This project is funded by a grant from the President of Russia, awarded to support culturally significant initiatives”, Nafisa Akhmetshina, head of the institution, made this announcement.

Akhmetshina elaborated, “The project is unique in its combination of child and adult vocalists. We’ve drawn inspiration from the legend of “Sak-Sok”, collaborating with the talented composer Ilyas Kamal, and our own city composer, Liliya Tarkhanova, has also contributed. The musical’s inaugural free performance will take place on November 18th at the KAMAZ Culture Centre. We’ve crafted the entire production ourselves, from the lyrics and staging to the plot and costumes. The direction is by Leonid Skorokhodov.”

The musical’s distinctive feature lies in its performance in the Tatar language, a first for Chelny audiences and visitors. The organizers plan to release a Russian translation in the future.
