On June 8, a concert by the world-renowned American artist and winner of Grammy, Oscar, Emmy and Tony awards, John Legend, took place at the legendary Registan Square in Samarkand. One of the most anticipated cultural events of the year was organized by the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation with the support of the UZCARD payment system, which acted as the Gold Partner of the event.
The artist’s performance against the backdrop of one of the world’s most recognizable architectural ensembles became a vivid example of how Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage can serve as a venue for international-level events, bringing together art, history and contemporary creative trends.
The concert gathered thousands of spectators, including residents from various regions of Uzbekistan, as well as guests from foreign countries. Holding such initiatives in the country’s historic spaces makes it possible to present Uzbekistan’s rich cultural heritage in a new way, combining it with modern global trends in art and music.
“The Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation consistently implements projects aimed at expanding cultural dialogue and creating new opportunities for a broad audience to engage with world art. Holding John Legend’s concert at Registan Square was another important step in developing the country’s cultural environment and strengthening Uzbekistan’s international image,” the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation noted.
Supporting cultural initiatives is one of the important areas of UZCARD’s social activity. The company seeks to contribute to the development of projects that expand access to art and culture, strengthen public values and create new opportunities for cultural education.
“At UZCARD, we pay special attention to supporting initiatives that contribute to the development of the country’s social and cultural environment. We are confident that such projects not only provide access to world-class art, but also contribute to the development of event tourism, the strengthening of Uzbekistan’s international image and the formation of a modern and open cultural agenda. By supporting such events, we invest in the development of society and in creating new opportunities for cultural exchange,” UZCARD representatives noted.
By supporting projects in the field of culture and art, UZCARD continues to contribute to the implementation of initiatives aimed at developing socially significant areas and strengthening Uzbekistan’s status as a modern platform for international cultural events.
