Forty-one years have passed since the death of the renowned Azerbaijani conductor and composer Niyazi Taghizade-Hajibeyov, a People's Artist of the USSR, Hero of Socialist Labor, and laureate of both the Azerbaijan and USSR State Prizes, Azernews reports.
To honor his memory, the staff of Niyazi’s apartment-museum—a branch of the State Museum of Musical Culture of Azerbaijan—along with members of the public, visited the Alley of Honor to pay their respects at the maestro’s grave.
