The Azerbaijan State Philharmonic named after Muslim Magomayev will mesmerize you with a Mugam evening, which will be held at 19:00 on January 24. The venue of the event is Istiglaliyyat street, 2.

The program will include the Azerbaijan State Orchestra of Folk Instruments led by famous conductor Agaverdi Pasayev.

The program’s concertmaster is national honored artist Saib Pashazada. The soloists are Melikov, Arabli, Hajiyev, Najafov and Gudretli.

Azerbaijani Mugham, a unique musical and poetic phenomenon, was created on the basis of historical and cultural traditions that have existed for centuries.

It is one of Azerbaijan's most valuable monuments of the material and spiritual culture and the greatest achievement of Azerbaijani people's musical and poetic art.

The artistic value of Azerbaijani Mugham and its high importance both for the national culture and the world community have been universally recognized at the international level: in 2003 UNESCO recognized the Azerbaijani Mugham as a masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
