Princess Lalla Hasnaa of the Kingdom of Morocco visited the International Mugham Center in Baku.
Detailed information about the Center was provided to the Princess during her visit.
The Center, as one of the flagship projects, was implemented by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation to preserve the country’s national spiritual values and promote them worldwide. It was established at the initiative of Mehriban Aliyeva, the First Vice-President of Azerbaijan and President of the Foundation.
President Ilham Aliyev signed an Order on the establishment of the International Mugham Center in Baku on April 6, 2005.
The 7,500 square-meter building is designed to resemble the parts of the tar, an ancient Azerbaijani musical instrument. The three-story building, inaugurated on December 27, 2008, features a 350-seat concert hall, a club, classrooms, a recording studio, and an 80-seat restaurant named “Ud.”
The Princess of Morocco was also informed about the national musical instruments displayed in the foyer of the International Mugham Center.
A concert program was then presented, showcasing rare examples of Azerbaijani mugham music and highlighting the richness and artistic value of the country’s national music.
