In Moscow, at the intimate music lounge of the A.N. Scriabin Memorial Museum, the premiere of Mamed Guseynov’s piano collection titled "Six Pieces for Children" took place as part of the lead-up program to the 9th International Music Competition “Sounds of the Dutar”.

The cycle features six imaginative compositions: Childhood Echoes, The Wandering Minstrel (Bakshi), A Tale, Magical Dreams, The Scarab Dance, and the nocturne Longing for Home. The printed album is complemented by vivid illustrations created by renowned Turkmen artist Kossekmurad Nurmuradov, a Merited Figure of Art in Turkmenistan.

The introductory essay was written by Turkmen musicologist Yuliya Jumayeva. The premiere performance was given by the talented pianist Maria Buyanova, Grand Prix winner of a previous “Sounds of the Dutar” edition. Her expressive playing and technical finesse brought the compositions to life, resonating deeply with the audience.

The main competition stage of the 9th “Sounds of the Dutar” festival begins in late October, and applications for participation are still open. The festival aims to become a launchpad for emerging talents and support the development of future masters of classical music.

In celebration of the National Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Industry Workers' Day, a state-of-the-art Maternal and Child Healthcare Center was officially inaugurated in the city of Balkanabat. The landmark event gathered regional and municipal officials, members of the Halk Maslahaty and Parliament, healthcare professionals, and community leaders. The opening ceremony featured festive cultural performances, musical numbers, and traditional Kushtdepdi dances.

The newly constructed medical complex consists of four- and five-story buildings designed to accommodate up to 305 patients. The center houses comprehensive maternity and postnatal wards, a gynecology division, pediatric units, and diagnostic consultation departments. The facility is equipped with advanced medical technology, including MRI, CT scanners, digital mammography, and fluorography units.

Notably, the center features the region's first 10-bed neonatal intensive care unit, fully outfitted with "Medicor" incubators from Hungary and high-precision German monitoring systems. These technologies allow medical staff to continuously monitor vital stats, body temperature, oxygen saturation, and respiratory functions of newborns.

During the ceremony, outstanding builders from the "Shadiyan Gurlushyk" enterprise were honored with gifts on behalf of the President of Turkmenistan, who also donated a new fleet of vehicles to support the medical center's operations.
