Eagles of Azerbaijan
In November 2007, Eagles of Azerbaijan boy’s dance ensemble was founded to promote and preserve the culture of Azerbaijan. The ensemble emphasizes the importance of keeping Azerbaijan national dances alive and thriving in order that they may be preserved and passed down from generation to generation. The ensemble became a limited company in July, 2009.
Eagles of Azerbaijan was named after the Azerbaijan map that is shaped liked an eagle, and in turn, the ensemble represents Azerbaijan culture, national/moral values, and traditions from all areas of the country.
Khanlar Bashirov is the founding artistic director of the ensemble who’s professional career has spanned over 40 years as a national and international solo performer and master teacher.
Eagles of Azerbaijan ensemble is comprised on boys ages six to teen. All classes and concerts are also accompanied by live musicians including a five and six piece ensemble; including tar player, wind instrument performers on reeds/pipe/balaban/clarinet, two garmon players, and two drummers.
To date, Eagles of Azerbaijan have toured extensively and performed for communities in Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Turkey, Russia, and different regions of Azerbaijan. The ensemble maintains a goal of performing for audiences abroad, in theatres, on television, and beyond in order to reveal and pass along national cultural values, customs and traditions via dance.
