I am happy to let you know that The National Music & Global Culture Society announces the NMGCS II International Composition Competition to recognize outstanding new full-scale musical works inspired by the musical material authored by the great composer Fikret Amirov.
Dear competitors,
I am grateful to all of you for your efforts, your interest in the music of the great Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyli. We received a total of fifty-one works comprising twenty-six countries from four continents. These are the USA, Japan, China, Taiwan, Canada, UK, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Chile, Venezuela, Mexico, Iran, Kuwait, Turkey, Israel, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan. Our honorable Board of qualified Jury studied entries very carefully, selecting the best of the best. The name of the Hajibeyli encouraged musicians around the world, and as a result number of excellent compositions emerged.
The National Music & Global Culture Society is proud to present “Music of Two Worlds”, a concert at the renowned Merkin Hall Kaufman Music Center (129 W 67th St, New York, NY 10036), on June 26, at 7:00pm.

Stephen Salters is a first-prize winner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth competition in Belgium.
