As part of the 3rd International Fidan Hajiyeva Opera Festival, the project "Young Voices Sound into the Future" (Gənc səslər gələcəyə səslənir) has brought together talented young vocalists. The concert was held at one of the festival's key venues, the Fidan Hajiyeva Vocal Music School. The school provides aspiring performers with an opportunity to take their first steps toward the professional stage, perform before an audience and experience the world of opera as young artists.
The concert featured Laman Babazade, Fidan Aliyeva, Roya Aliyeva, Aisha Mammadova and Aishanur Ahmadova. The young vocalists performed works by Azerbaijani and international classical composers. The accompanists were Samra Hasanli and Khalil Mutallibov.
"For me, it is especially important that young performers do not wait for their chance, but have the opportunity to seize it today. Talent requires not only hard work, but also support, attention and the opportunity to perform before an audience. That is why the 'Young Voices Sound into the Future' project is not simply part of the festival program for me.
It is a space where young artists can experiment, grow, gain stage experience and understand that they have their own place in the wider world of classical art," Fidan Hajiyeva said. According to her, support for young talents should be consistent and provide the conditions necessary for their professional development. "We want not simply to discover new names, but to help those names be heard.
Perhaps among today's participants are future soloists of the world's leading opera stages. Our task is to give them confidence, knowledge and a stage from which their journey can begin," the People's Artist said. After the concert, the performers shared their impressions with Trend.
Laman Babazade - vocalist, student of the Faculty of Solo Academic Singing at the Baku Academy of Music and laureate of national and international competitions: "From a creative perspective, taking part in the Fidan Hajiyeva Festival is undoubtedly a very important event in my life. Thanks to this festival, I have the opportunity to develop, perform on different stages and in different venues, and gain valuable stage experience. It is also a great honor for me to participate in a festival named after Fidan Hajiyeva.
