Azerbaijani Mugham is a traditional genre of Azerbaijani music characterized by a complex system of melody types and modes. It is an intricate form of art music that blends classical poetry and musical improvisation. Mugham performances typically feature a trio of musicians: a singer (khananda), a tar player, and a kamancheh player, often accompanied by a percussionist playing the daf. The music is deeply rooted in Azerbaijani culture, expressing a wide range of emotions and storytelling through its rich, modal system. Recognizing its cultural significance and historical value, Azerbaijani Mugham was added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008. Dr. Khadija Zeynalova is an award-winning professional composer of contemporary, film and theatre music as well as Organist and Musicologist. Her compositions are performed by some of the world’s leading orchestras, ensembles and musicians in Germany, US, Canada, France, UK, Netherland, Cyprus, Greece, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, Oman, Cyprus, Azerbaijan and many other countries. As multilingual PhD graduate, she was a winner of prestigious Friedrich-Ebert PhD Scholarship in Germany. Khadija is currently based in Germany, where she founded contemporary Music Orchestra / Ensemble Bridge of Sound (since 2017) and founded International music festival Harmony of Sound (since 2021).More about Khadija's other compositions can be found here:Official Web-page: https://www.khadijazeynalova.comOfficial Twitter page: https://www.twitter.com/XadicaZeynalovaOfficial Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@khadijazeynalovaOfficial Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/khadija.zeynal.composer/Official Web page of Music festival Harmony of Sound in Germany: www.harmonyofsound.de
