Biography

Erkegali Rakhmadiyev was born in Shubartau, East Kazakhstan Region, on August 1, 1932,[4] to the family of Rakhmadi Zhabykbayev, a well-known akyn and musician. From a tender age Erkegali was surrounded with folk music, he listened to performances by akyns and dombra players and learned to play and perform as well.[5]

In 1952, he graduated from Tchaikovsky Alma-Ata Music Academy and joined Kurmangazy Kazakh Conservatoire to study under the well-known composer Yevgeny Brusilovsky (he finished these studies in 1957).[6]

Erkegali’s first job was that of a music teacher, and he already became the head of Kurmangazy Kazakh State Conservatoire at the age of 35. In 1969 he was awarded the academic degree of docent and a professor’s degree followed in 1979. Rakhmadiyev became the Chairman of Kazakhstan’s Union of Composers in 1968.[7]
