For the celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the Democratic Republic of AZERBAIJAN we received and invitation from the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Brussels to the Concert of the Azerbaijan Children's State Symphony Orchestra and Choir called "Goodwill Angels of Azerbaijan" at the Wolubilis Theatre in Brussels.
The Artistic Director and Conductor of the Children's Symphonic Orchestra is Mr Teymur Goychayev and the Choir Leader is Ms. Dilara Aliyeva.
The performance of these young and talented Azerbaijani musicians, singers and dancers was simply MAGNIFICENT.
The violin, piano, flute, trumpet and trombone soloists were brilliant, true virtuosos!
BRAVISSIMO to Narmin Najafli, Jeyla Seyidova, Gunel Sadigova, Nidjat Mammadov, Elvin Khoja Ganiyev and ALL the musicians of the orchestra!
One of the young singers, Nihad Orujov, is only eight years old, but what a voice and what a presence on stage! He sang "O sole mio' (Napolitan song) together with Aydan Rustamova (born in 1994) and Ismail Yunusov (born in 1995).
The 11-year old Elmaddin Ibrahimov's performance was breathtaking, no wonder he won the first place and the title of laureate in the Azeri National Mugham Competition. He has also been included in the List of "Golden Book" of Azerbaijan young talents. He was the soloist in the trio with Mustafa Ashurov (tar) and Abbas Abullayeve (kamancha) they ravished us with Mugham "Karabakh shikastasi" and Azerbaijan folk song "Mountains of Shusha".
The public loved the traditional Azeri dances which were performed by four young dancers dressed in splendid Azeri costumes.
Some of the works on the programme:
Fragment of L.V. Beethoven's 9 symphony (final)
U. Hajibeyov, overture to "Koroglu" Opera
T. Guliyev "Morning song"
"The beauty of the mountains" dance
