(MENAFN- AzerNews) The Chamber and Organ Music Hall of the Azerbaijan State

the opening of the III Azerbaijan International Festival of
Vocalists organised by the State Opera and Ballet Theatre with the

said the project is significant in further promotion of classical
art with the participation of famous masters of musical culture,
revealing the creative potential of young people.
The guests were presented a vocal and mugam choreographic
programme "Baroque Evening". Baroque music is a bright period in
the development of European academic music, approximately between
1600 - 1750, which appeared at the end of the Renaissance and
preceded the music of classicism.
Baroque - the word comes from the Portuguese perola barroca - a
pearl or seashell of fanciful shape; indeed, the visual arts,
architecture and music of this period were characterised by highly
ornate forms, complexity, opulence and dynamism. Its vivid visual
effects, seething passion, and emotional intensity make it
memorable and attractive.
This era gave the world imperishable musical masterpieces and
great names. It was then that real orchestras appeared, opera was
born, and many musical terms and concepts were developed that are
still alive today.

Aliyev, Aliahmed Ibrahimov, Elnara Mammadova, Anar Mikailov,
