The band has performed in countries of the CIS, as well as United Kingdom, Italy, United States, Turkey, Austria, Belgium, Malaysia, Egypt, India, Bahrain, Greece and other countries.[3][4][5] The band's repertoire includes almost all the international anthems, military marches, folk music, pop music, and classical music foreign and Kazakh composers.[6][7][8] The band is under the direction of a bandmaster and senior military director.[9]

History

The band was formed in accordance with the Decree of the President of Kazakhstan in 1992 to provide the musical part of state, protocol, events and official celebrations. Until 1994, the it was called the Exemplary Band of the Kazakh Armed Forces and from 1994 to 2014 was a part of the Republican Guard.[1] In 1997, the band was relocated to the new capital of Astana from Almaty. In April 2014, when the State Security Service of Kazakhstan was created, the band was rebranded as the Presidential Band.[10][11] In 1994, a string quartet was formed, with musicians working with it over the years, including Bayan Musakhodjaev, Kairzhan Zholdybaev and Aida Ayupova. In 2006, the chamber music quartet was transformed into a chamber music ensemble. From 1997 to 2000, the Presidential Band included a Big Band Jazz Band under the direction of Honored Art Worker Alexander Ablaev. In 2015, the ensemble was revived under the direction of Suyunbai Kazbaev, a graduate of the Almaty State Conservatory. In 1997, a folk ensemble was created, which would later in 2006 become a laureate of the Daryn State Youth Prize.[12]

A member of the brass band carries a Lyre, which serves as the ceremonial symbol of the unit at official ceremonies.[13]

The dance ensemble was founded in 1997 and encompassed all styles and genres of dombra music, folk singing, and folklore and ethnographic instruments.[14] The first director of the dance ensemble was Botagoz Sarina, a graduate of the Saint Petersburg State Institute of Culture. In subsequent years, Talant Shorukov, a graduate of the Moscow Studio at the Igor Moiseyev Ballet, and Major Natalia Fokina, a graduate of the West Kazakhstan State University, served as the ensemble's director. It was later transformed into the dance ensemble of the State Security Service on May 4, 2014. In 2021, due to organizational and staffing measures, the dance ensemble was abolished.[15]
