They will also celebrate the great Turkmen poet Magtymguly on the 300th anniversary of his birth”.

Through this collaboration, audiences in Turkmenistan and the United States have had the opportunity to enjoy a variety of music, theater, visual and other arts, and American and Turkmen artists have enriched their craft through mutual exchange.
