The classical music world mourns the loss of Yuri Temirkanov (Kabardian: Темыркъан Хьэту и къуэ Юрий), the illustrious conductor whose life was a testament to the transformative power of music. Born on December 10, 1938, in the city of Nalchik, within the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic of Russia, Temirkanov rose from his Kabardian (Circassian) roots to command the world's stage with a baton steeped in cultural heritage and an unyielding passion for musical excellence.

20 September 2023 will enter into the decade-long history of the Karabakh conflict as a major watershed.

The Azerbaijani military attack lasted for just one day before the Karabakh Armenians gave up a hopeless fight.
