The most anticipated event of the week was expected by the AUCA community on Friday as always. This Gala Concert was very special since this year American University of Central Asia celebrates its 30th anniversary. Even before the event itself, all the seats not only at the AUCA forum were already packed with spectators, but also all the floors were filled with students families, faculty and staff who came to watch and capture this magnificent moment.

The opening ceremony of the concert began with the speech of Michael Freese, the Dean of Student Affairs - "We welcome all guests and participants of the Diversity Concert especially parents of our students, we are incredibly grateful for your trust! In AUCA we have 23 different nationalities and this is very important for us celebrating the Diversity of our university!"

Traditionally the first performance of the concert was given to Kyrgyz delegation, their show was divided into three parts and singing, dancing and even modeling show, where students of AUCA were dressed in traditional Kyrgyz clothes inspired by the new design. Each delegation performed unique dances, and they were endowed with a special meaning associated with their culture and motives. By the end of the concert all gathered together to sing an anthem of the Diversity - "We are the World".

The AUCA community expresses great gratitude to delegations and Student Life Office for these wonderful moments that will last forever!
