4月18日晚，《阿塞拜疆友好之夜暨纪念阿塞拜疆人民领袖盖达尔·阿利耶夫诞辰100周年音乐会》在廊坊圆满举行。

On the evening of April 18, "AZERBAIJAN FRIENDSHIP CONCERT DEDICATED TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL LEADER HEYDAR ALIYEV" was successfully held in Langfang.

本次音乐会由丝绸之路国际艺术交流中心（以下简称：丝路中心）和阿塞拜疆共和国驻华大使馆联合主办。使馆文化参赞及代表团、来自阿方首都巴库的艺术家们以及丝路中心领导和员工代表等出席现场。

The concert was jointly organized by the Silk Road International Arts Center ( Hereinafter called the: Silk Road Center) and the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in China. The cultural counsellor and delegation of the Embassy, artists from Baku, the capital of the Azerbaijan, as well as the leaders and staff representatives of the Silk Road Center attended the venue.

艺术交流增进民心相通。演出现场，阿塞拜疆民族器乐团带来经典曲目演奏、民族舞蹈和演唱，与在场嘉宾亲切交流互动，引领丝路中心观众进入到阿塞拜疆传统文化的意境中去。

Artistic exchanges enhance people-to-people ties. At the performance, the Azerbaijani folk instrumental group brought classical repertoire performance, folk dance and singing, exchanged and interacted cordially with the guests, and led the Silk Road Center audience into the mood of traditional Azerbaijani culture.

丝绸之路的联结赋予了中国和阿塞拜疆共通的文艺宝藏。早在首届“一带一路”长城国际民间文化艺术节期间，丝路中心就排演了阿塞拜疆经典轻歌剧《货郎与小姐》，深受两国观众的喜爱。此后，丝路中心与阿塞拜疆持续深化合作关系，在文化、艺术、旅游、教育等多元领域开展交流互动，此次音乐会就是双方长期友好关系的突出成就。

The Silk Road connection has given China and Azerbaijan a common cultural treasure. As early as during the first "The Belt and Road" Great Wall International Folk Culture and Arts Festival, the Silk Road Center rehearsed the Azerbaijani classic operetta "The Cloth Peddler", which was well received by audiences in both countries. Since then, the Silk Road Center and Azerbaijan have continued to deepen their cooperation and interaction in various fields such as culture, art, tourism and education, and this concert is an outstanding achievement of their long-term friendly relationship.

未来，丝路中心愿继续为阿方艺术机构和艺术家提供展示舞台，增加交流互访频次，为中阿文化交流互鉴搭建桥梁，利好两国人民。

In the future, Silk Road Center is willing to continue to provide a showcase for Azerbaijani art institutions and artists, increase the frequency of exchanges and mutual visits, and build a bridge for cultural exchanges and mutual appreciation between China and Azerbaijan for the benefit of both peoples.
