An “Evening of Chamber Music” was held in the Chamber and Organ Music Hall of the Azerbaijan State Academic Philharmonic named after Muslim Magomayev, Day.Az reports.

Chamber music is performed by a small group of musicians or vocalists. The history of chamber music dates back to the mid-15th century, when wealthy people showed interest in secular music. There were no concert halls back then, and professional music was performed either in churches or in the rooms of wealthy homes (in Russian, “camera” means “room”).

In the 16th-18th centuries, the term “chamber music” was used in relation to any secular music and was contrasted with church music. With the emergence and development of symphonic music at the end of the 18th century, chamber music acquired its own characteristics and became an independent genre. This is subtle, confidential, refined and deep music that is able to penetrate into the thoughts and feelings of a person, merge with his dreams and emotions.

Laureates of republican and international competitions Gyamar Kerimli (violin), Nijat Feyziev (violin), Georgiy Imanov (cello), Cholpon Amanzholova (viola), Narmin Rzayeva (piano) and Mirkhalid Mammadzade (flute) performed for the audience. The concert featured Antonin Dvorak’s Piano Quintet No. 2 (A major, op. 81) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Quartet for Flute, Violin and Cello No. 1 (D major, K. 285).
