A concert titled "Harmony of the North and the East," dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the great Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibayli, was held at the Hallwylska Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, Trend reports. The concert was a melting pot, bringing together the cream of the crop from the diplomatic corps in Sweden, the Azerbaijani community, and local music aficionados, all under one roof. Ayda Amir Hashimi, the representative of the Coordination Council of Swedish Azerbaijanis in Stockholm, made an opening speech and briefed on the musical heritage of Uzeyir Hajibayli and his contribution to Azerbaijani culture. "Uzeyir Hajibayli is the first composer to combine European classical music with Azerbaijani folk music, and the performance of his music in Stockholm has a symbolic meaning," Hashimi noted. During the concert, along with works by Azerbaijani composers, works by Scandinavian composers Emil Högren, Tore Rangström, Gunnar de Frumeri, and Edvard Grieg were also performed.
