TEHRAN -- The renowned Azerbaijani vocalist, Alim Qasimov, said he performs concerts to bring people together to promote friendship and peace.
Qasimov made the remarks during a press conference that he held at Tehran’s Vahdat Hall on Monday to brief the media about his concerts with the Tehran Wind Orchestra at the hall on January 11 and 12.
“Any musician across the world, whether I know him or not, is my friend, because I believe musicians transfer their thoughts to other people through the language of art,” he said.
Referring to the Tehran Wind Orchestra, he continued that the young musicians of the orchestra and its director Sina Zokaii have encouraged him for the concert.
He said that the music of his country is very similar to the music of Iran and the only difference might be the language, however, the music of the two countries is so close that more collaboration can be made.
He added that his daughter Fargana Qasimova will be beside him in the concert and will accompany him and share in his works.
