1IIst Baku Contemporary
Music Days
(2025)

The 2023 Festival revealed the theme of the relationship of modern Azerbaijani composers with European and American composer schools. Despite geographical or temporal remoteness, intersections are found with such world-famous names as Morton Feldman, Beat Furrer, Georg Friedrich Haas, etc. The second line of the "1st Baku Contemporary Music Days" marked the centenary of the birth of Hungarian composer György Ligeti (1923–2006), in honor of which was performed the Azerbaijani premiere of his composition and was shown a film about the composer. The concert program alternated with an educational program consisting of open master classes, workshops, and lectures.
