Nomads is an immersive journey along the ancient Silk Road, where every detail — from the music to the lighting, from live sand drawings to the rare voices of ancient instruments — is finely woven into a world of pure enchantment. The performance travels through centuries of sound: from ancient and traditional Central Asian melodies to classical arrangements and jazz interpretations, creating a sonic palette both unexpected and deeply moving.

The haunting tones of the kobyz, zhetygen, saz-syrnay, and shan-kobyz merge with the piano, while fluid golden sands transform into ephemeral images projected on a grand screen. Light, shadow, and sound work in perfect harmony, transporting audiences far beyond the stage — into the vast steppes, mountains, and deserts of the Silk Road.

This production has been performed in prestigious venues across France, featured at the Avignon Off Festival, and presented in the Netherlands, receiving acclaim for its artistry and originality.

A performance where history, art, and imagination meet — offering a rare opportunity to hear sounds you have never heard before and to see music take shape before your eyes.

The show “Nomads”

Founded in Vienna by flutist and performer of traditional wind instruments Aidana Madyar, BAKSY brings the sacred music of Central Asia to life. The ensemble unites outstanding and accomplished musicians, such as the brilliant Aigerim Shuster, a virtuoso on a wide range of plucked and string instruments, and percussionist José María Díaz Aranda, whose artistry adds a vibrant rhythmic heartbeat to the music.

BAKSY made a powerful debut at the Brucknerhaus in Austria and was invited to perform and conduct masterclasses at Expo in Osaka, Japan, as part of its cultural program. This unforgettable fusion of heritage, virtuosity, and passion offers audiences a deeply immersive and spiritually resonant experience.

In 2026, the ensemble plans to take part in landmark cultural events, further expanding its international presence.
