The young musicians were accompanied by the Azerbaijan State Chamber Orchestra under the baton of the artistic director and principal conductor, People's Artist Fahraddin Karimov.

The enchanting sounds of the piano, flute, violin and magnificent voices of vocalists created a unique atmosphere at the concert.

The project is headed by the director of the State Philharmonic Hall, People's Artist of Azerbaijan Murad Adigozalzadeh, and the project coordinator is Ayla Karimova-Zekeriyye.
