The opening of a branch of the Sirius educational center in Almaty is scheduled for late 2027 or early 2028. Before then, a joint youth orchestra of Russia and Kazakhstan will be established.

Anton Gusev, Director of the Sirius University of Science and Technology, said today during the third Kazakhstan–Sirius Talent Summit that a branch of the Russian educational center is tentatively expected to open in Almaty in about a year, around the turn of 2027–2028.

The Almaty branch of Sirius will reach full capacity in 2029, Gusev clarified. According to him, plans are currently being developed to open a Sirius branch in Astana.
