“Sounds that Unite”, a special performance for the United Nations Day, took place on October 24 in the premises of the Pyramid of Tirana.
The concert started with AJS Quartet, led by Gent Rushi, who brought a harmonious combination of Jazz and Ethno Jazz, creating a warm atmosphere.
Afterwards, the Tirana Choir performed, a group made up of visually impaired people, who gave an exciting spectacle.
The musician Besmir Sulaj, who has been part of this choir for 10 years, emphasized the importance of their performances on many stages inside and outside Albania.
“This choir is a mix. We have disabled people and professionals. It is a fusion of two disciplines, a unity and a cooperation without prejudice. To promote talent regardless of the barriers one has,” he said.
The concert, directed by conductor Suzana Turku, directed by Militiadh Kutali, set designer by Beqo Nanaj, and orchestrated by Jusiald Xhani, included a variety of musical styles, including Jazz, Pop, Pop Classic, Gospel and traditional Albanian folk music.
The repertoire contained works by great artists such as Paul Mauriat, Michael Jackson, Louis Armstrong, as well as prominent Albanian composers Pjetër Gaci and Avni Mula.
Vocal education, as one of the most widespread forms of universal music education, was also an important focus of this event, promoted through such performances.
