Fikret Amirov is an outstanding Azerbaijani composer, whose works spread positive energy and social and ethical ideals.

Amirov’s symphonic Mughams ‘Shur’ and ‘Kurd Ovshary’ are unprecedented in the history of world music. The author developed the national symphonic style by creating symphonic Mugham that became significant not only for Azerbaijan’s music but also for the music of the world.

Amirov created the first Azerbaijani lyrical-psychological opera on a contemporary theme. Moreover, he is the author of the first instrumental concert, and a fairytale ballet in Azerbaijan.
