The classic music concert called "From Gabala to Johannesburg, The music knows no borders" will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa on November 12-13.

The event is devoted to the 90th establishment anniversary of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and 20th anniversary of establishment of democracy in South Africa.

The event has been co-organized by Azerbaijani Embassy in South Africa, Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the South African NGO "Friends of Azerbaijan."

Works of Azerbaijani classical music luminaries such as Gara Garayev, Fikrat Amirov, Soltan Hajibeyov and many others will be performed by Azerbaijani conductor Yalchin Adigozelov, Saida Tagizada (piano) and Alexey Miltukh (violoncello) along with Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra.

The program includes the world's premiere by Sevda Ibrahimova "Confession", which will be performed on the stage of the famous "Linder" concert hall.

The concert dedicated to Azerbaijan and its classic music will be held for the first time in South Africa.

This year, the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra took part in the traditional Gabala International Music Festival, where it gave a number of concerts during the ten-day event.

Formed by a group of committed musicians, the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra was established in May 2000 following the demise of the National Symphony Orchestra.
