In Baku, I defended my doctoral dissertation.

Therefore, the Philharmonic stage is native to me. At one of the competitions held at the Philharmonic, I even took first place.

Of course, the concert in Baku is significant for me, after 20 years I am performing on the stage of the Philharmonic again, this is very exciting. I express my deep gratitude to the organizers of the program, the director of the Azerbaijan State Academic Philharmonic named after Muslim Magomayev , People’s Artist, Professor Murad Adygezalzadeh,” she said.
