Baku, July 17 (AZERTAC). Honorary academician of the UN International Academy of Art, professor at the US Julian Music Academy, pianist Oksana Yablonskaya has praised the Heydar Aliyev Foundation`s role in organizing the Gabala musical festival.
“If it was not for the support from the Heydar Aliyev Foundation we would not have been able to organize such an outstanding piano contest beyond the capital,” said Yablonskaya who heads a jury panel at an annual piano contest which is held as part of the musical festival.
“On behalf of representatives of 11 countries, who make up the jury panel, and 15 participants from 9 countries, I thank President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, UNESCO and ISESCO Goodwill Ambassador, MP Mehriban Aliyeva.”
“This year`s contest is much more well-organized than previous ones. The first round is over, we already have the results. I believe the second round will be more interesting,” Yablonskaya said.
