The musician included in his repertoire musical pieces by Azerbaijani and foreign composers, jazz, and national compositions that will sound in Washington, Oklahoma City, New York, as well as Istanbul and Ankara.

Concerts in Turkiye are organized at the special invitation of the CSO ADA Ankara to mark the 100th anniversary of the outstanding Azerbaijani composer Fikrat Amirov.
