History
On 24 July 1944, the Council of People's Commissars of the Kazakh SSR decided to organize from October 1 the State Institute of Arts in the city of Alma-Ata, which was later transformed into the Alma-Ata Conservatory. In 1945, the university was named after the Kazakh kuishi of the 19th century Kurmangazy Sagyrbaev. In the first building, built in 1938, before the conservatory there was a musical and choreographic combine.[1]
In the early 1960s, another building and a dormitory with 120 living rooms, 42 rehearsals, reading and sports halls and a spacious hall was built.[1]
In the 1981–1982 academic year, more than 1200 students studied at the conservatory, 234 teachers worked, including over 20 professors and doctors of sciences, about 50 associate professors and candidates of sciences, 5 people's artists of the Soviet Union, 7 people's artists of the Kazakh SSR.[2]
In November 2000, the conservatory was provided with an additional modern 4-story building.[1]
Since December 2013, the quarterly scientific journal “Bulletin of the Kazakh National Conservatory named after S. Kurmangazy ". In March 2017, the magazine was renamed "SARYN".[3]

Building architecture
The building is an example of the "national style" in 1930's Almaty architecture. The 3-story building of the conservatory is an open rectangle in the plan. The main facade of the building is accented by flanking projections with two-column Corinthian-style porticoes, completed with a triangular pediment, with the main entrance located in one of them. The measured rhythm of Corinthian pilasters in the space between windows dissects the facade vertically. The windows are three-part, in the end part of the risalits - double-leaf. The masonry of the walls is brick, plastered. The layout of the building is of a corridor type with rooms overlooking it.[4]
Memorial status
