(MENAFN- AzerNews) A celebration of Azerbaijani and world classical music was held
at the Heydar Aliyev Center, Azernews reports.
The evening was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the

In the modern world, a person lives and develops, surrounded by
a variety of sources of strong influence on him, both positive and
negative. And classical music has a huge impact on intellectual
abilities, helps to increase emotional activity, and even has a
fruitful effect on health. Classical musical works combine depth,
content, and ideological significance with the perfection of form.
And it contains a huge storehouse that satisfies the spiritual
needs of any listener - and drive, and passion, and pain, and
suffering. Letting classical music into your soul is like opening a
window and breathing in fresh air. Music is as important to the
soul as light is to a painting!
