A concert by world violin music star Marat Bisengaliev was held on May 2, 2012 at State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre named after Abai, it has become an important milestone in charity activities in the Republic of Kazakhstan.  That day "AYALA" foundation celebrated its 5^th anniversary since the date of the organization. Along with Marat Bisengaliyev, the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Zhambyl Kazakh State Philarmonic and young stars of London Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra - Amir and Galia Bisengaliyev attended in the concert.

Symphonic music concert was organized by "AYALA" foundation, "Sberbank" JSC and the British-Kazakh Society. All funds raised during the preparation of the concert and during the event will be spent on the children's intensive care unit of Kyzylorda regional prenatal center.  "AYALA" plans to purchase breathing apparatus, resuscitation tables and other medical equipment for the care of premature infants for the money collected during the concert. Since 2008, the Republic of Kazakhstan is working on the standards of the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for live birth. From this point on live-born is considered an infant weighing 500 grams. Life support system of newborns weighing less than 1000 grams is not ready to exist outside the mother's body, and special equipment is needed to save the lives of these children.  Breathing apparatus CPAP and resuscitation tables help to health workers to nurse premature infants. 

This equipment will be purchased with funds collected during a concert of symphonic music.
Hundreds of spectators, not only lovers of violin music, but also participants of the next stage of "Breathe, baby" project of "AYALA" foundation, gathered in the hall of the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre named after Abay. The "Breathe, baby" project is a part of the Memorandum which was signed between “AYALA" Foundation, and the Ministry of Health Care of the Republic of Kazakhstan. All maternity hospitals and prenatal center in Almaty, as well as children's intensive care unit of regional prenatal centers in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Semipalatinsk, Karaganda, Atyrau, and Taraz had already received a gift from "AYALA" ¾ modern medical equipment for the neonatal intensive care unit. This equipment helped to health workers to save a hundreds lives of newborns. This greatly reduced the infant mortality rate, which is one of the key criteria for the development of medicine and the country as a whole.

During preparation for the event and the concert itself 17 085 130 KZT was collected. We need to collect 19 357 200 KZT to finish “Breathe, baby” Kyzylorda project. Employees of "AYALA" foundation have a firm belief that deficient amount will be collected in the coming days from the fundraising boxes, sms to the short number 1462 of Beeline and money transfer to the fund.

At 5^th anniversary ceremony of “AYALA” foundation the largest and most constant partners of our foundation were awarded. That evening "Oscars" of charity, as Daniyar Dzhaparkulov called this award, a Director of Interior Design Gallery «Dialin» went to the Managing Director of Icon Cable Network - Sergei Kim, a company spokesman of "ExxonMobil Kazakhstan Inc." - Alia Kayupova, Deputy Chairman of Halyk Bank - Stanislav Kosobokov, and Managing Director of Kaspi bank - Larissa Pak. Unfortunately, Kanat Nureyev, LED display director, could not get the deserved reward, who helps to fund for many years in this evening.

The audience was very pleased with the positive atmosphere of the concert and energy of participants. Young stars of violin music Amir, Galia Bisengaliyev and Maestro Marat Bisengaliev didn’t leave spectators and musicians of the orchestra unmoved. Audience particularly remember radiant smile of Abzal Mukhitdinov, a conductor of the orchestra. Organisers of the concert were particularly pleased with a full house and all the tickets’ being sold out.

Spectators did not let go the masters of world music by long applause. Countless bouquets of spring flowers were the sign of recognition the musicians’ charity deeds. Administration of the Almaty Department of Culture also noted the great performance of the artists by basket of roses.
