Intro
Riad Mammadov is a pianist and composer with a deep passion for both classical and contemporary music, as well as a dedicated explorer and ambassador of Mugham and Jazz Mugham.
Intro
Born and raised in Baku, Riad received an European education at Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, so his life and work flow between two cultures.
The East and the West have always been connected in his music, creating a deep philosophical dialogue that has lasted for centuries.
