The Victory Day concert held in the Grand Hall of the Maya Kuliyeva Turkmen National Conservatory commenced with the song "Triangular Letters." The performers included the children's choir "Singing Nightingales" from Ashgabat Music School No. 4 and the Conservatory’s chamber orchestra. Boys and girls, dressed in Soviet Army uniforms, formed an improvised formation of the Immortal Regiment, carrying portraits of frontline soldiers. Through their performance, they imbued each word of the song with profound significance, symbolizing the inseparable bond between the frontlines and the home front.

The Grand Hall was filled to capacity that evening. The audience listened with great excitement to the lyrics of the song. Someone, who possessed rare wartime letters preserved in their family archives, was moved to tears.

Songs from the wartime era possess an unusual attractive power. Although some were composed during peacetime, they remain deeply cherished by the populace. No concert program dedicated to Victory Day is complete without such songs as "Smuglyanka," "May Waltz," "Katyusha," and "Blue Scarf." These pieces were performed during the concert by laureate of the "Altyn Asyr" award Bahar Durdyeva, Dovran Shammyev, Mansur Sharipov, Tazegul Bayramova, as well as the People’s Artist of Turkmenistan Atajan Berdiyev.

The concert’s climactic segment featured the reading of letters from the front by the children Ailar Tsarkova, Nyazly Pirgulyeva, and Allaberdi Novruzov. Each reader delivered their respective letter with poignant expression, after which they left the stage in military formation.

People’s Artist of Turkmenistan Atageldi Garyagdyev performed compositions by Nury Halmamedov and Sukhan Toyliyev, specifically "Maňa seniň gözlerinden gitme ýok" and "Uruşdan gelmedik agam."

The State Choir of Turkmenistan delivered a precise and solemn rendition of the song "Let Us Bow to Those Great Years," prompting the audience to rise in a gesture of unity and shared reverence for the song’s message.

As is customary, the concert concluded with the deeply moving anthem "Victory Day," performed collectively by all vocalists. Many members of the audience joined in singing.

The evening profoundly moved the audience, evoking a sense of pride in the heroism of our grandfathers and fathers, to whom several generations living in peace owe their gratitude.

The conceptual organizer of the concert program was Ekaterina Darchia, accompanist of the solo singing department. The chamber orchestra of the Conservatory, under the direction of fourth-year student Kovus Byashimov, provided accompaniment for all performances.
