Greece's Embassy in Azerbaijan will organize a concert program on the occasion of the launch of the Hellenic Presidency of the Council of European Union, the embassy reported on January 22.

Trio Elegeia band will perform musical pieces by well-know Greek composers such as Manos Hatzidakis, Nikos Skalkottas and Mikis Theodorakis during the concert, which will be held in Azerbaijan's State Song Theatre named after Rashid Behbudov on January 29.

The Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which is responsible for the functioning of the Council of the European Union, the upper house of the EU legislature, rotates among the member states of the EU every six months.

The presidency is not an individual, but rather the position is held by a national government. The presidency's function is to chair meetings of the Council, determine its agendas, set a work program and facilitate dialogue both at Council meetings and with other EU institutions. The current presidency is held by Greece.
