A memorial concert was held at the Turkmen National Conservatory named after Maya Kuliyeva to honor the 95th anniversary of Annageldi Julgaev, a People's Artist of Turkmenistan and laureate of the Magtymguly International Prize. The event was opened with an introductory speech by Agajan Achylov, a senior lecturer of the Department of Music History and a candidate of art history, who spoke about the life and work of the renowned musician known for performing folk melodies on the national instrument, the gyjak.

Annageldi Julgaev was born on May 7, 1929, in Ahal velayat and came from a family of musicians famous in their time. From childhood, he listened with delight to songs and music performed by his grandfather Sary-bakhshi and relatives Purli, Oraz and Nury Saryev. Recognizing his talent, his family began teaching young Annageldi the art of music. His first mentor was Purli Saryev, a famous dutar player and composer-melodist who later became one of the founders of the Turkmen Folk Instruments Orchestra.

Continuing his family traditions, gyjak player Annageldi Julgaev reached new heights in performance art. As he grew older, he performed concerts in many countries across Asia, Europe and America, captivating audiences with his virtuoso playing and the sound of the ancient Turkmen musical instrument. He masterfully performed beautiful pieces such as "Aýa meňzär," "Gal indi," "Näz eder," "Ak eşekli," "Keç pelek," "Torgaý guşlar," "Ýaşylbaş," "Leýli gelin," "Bike halan," "Dilberim," "Ýylgaýlar," "Dön göwnüm," "Nergiz," and "At çapar." His long and fruitful career was recognized with state awards such as the third-degree "Altyn Asyr" order and the medal "For Love of the Motherland."

At the memorial concert, friends and colleagues shared their memories of the musician. National and honored artists of Turkmenistan, as well as conservatory students, performed master’s melodies, Turkmen folk songs, and pieces dedicated to Sary and Durdy bakhshies.
