is a remarkable event in the country’s cultural life, which brings
together musicians and music lovers from all over the world in a
picturesque corner. The festival takes place in Gabala, known as
Azerbaijan’s cultural and tourist center, which is surrounded by
majestic nature. The large-scale event offers music lovers a
variety of genres and performance styles. From classical music to
contemporary music, from folk melodies to symphonic pieces,
everyone can find something here for his own taste,” said Mahir
Taghizade.

The opera singer stressed that the 13th Gabala International
Music Festival marks the 100th anniversary of the National Leader

Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and Russia. With its rich program, the
festival will be remembered by the audience for a long time. Along
with professionals, young talents also perform at the festival.

Noting the rich concert program, Mahir Taghizade said that he
will share the same stage with well-known opera singers at the
chamber music concert.

“I will share the stage with Atesh Karayev (tenor), Rebecca
Mahammadova (piano) and young talents on July 29. The concert
program will include works by Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart, Gaetano Donizetti, Giacomo Puccini, Pyotr
Tchaikovsky as well as romances by Georgy Sviridov. As part of the
concert, young talents will perform music pieces by Gabriel Fauré,
Mikhail Glinka and Franz Liszt. I invite everyone to join this
great feast of music!,” he concluded.
