Abstract
The article systematizes the data on the history of the symphony orchestra concert of Tatar music in Kazan in 1923. The study is based on archival materials reflecting the ethnographic activities of Anton Eikhenwald (1875–1952). The article presents a detailed analysis of the composer’s works and his views on Tatar music, summarizing newspaper responses and reviews of this unique cultural event. It is proved that A. Eikhenwald, as a composer and performing musician, was higher and more sensitive than his predecessors in the field of symphonic arrangements of Tatar folk songs.
