Samarkand continues to strengthen its position as one of the main centers of international cultural dialogue and attracts global events. This was reported by Upl.uz.
In particular, the concert of the famous Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli held in the historic Registan Square clearly confirmed this. The maestro's performance on the evening of September 1 was highly praised by Sayyora Mirziyoyeva, head of the administration of the President of Uzbekistan.
In her statement, she emphasized that the ancient city has a rich historical heritage and today is becoming a platform where the cultures and traditions of various peoples harmonize. This opens new opportunities not only for the country but also for the Central Asian region.
The concert was organized by the Uzbekistan Fund for the Development of Culture and Art with the support of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and "Uzpromstroybank." The event was held under the auspices of UNESCO, which, according to Mirziyoyeva, indicates its great significance for world culture.
This event is part of strategic initiatives aimed at expanding international cultural exchange and promoting Uzbekistan as a global communication center. The musical accompaniment was provided by the Uzbekistan National Symphony Orchestra.
This ensemble has previously participated in important events held under UNESCO patronage. The special guest of the concert was opera singer Aida Garifullina.
The program included masterpieces of classical music as well as famous works by the Italian performer. Hosting such major events in Samarkand not only strengthens the city's role in global cultural dialogue but also serves to attract tourists and investors.
In recent years, the city has hosted numerous international forums, festivals, and exhibitions, establishing itself as one of the main cultural centers of the region. Registan Square, where Andrea Bocelli's concert took place, is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list and is a unique ensemble consisting of three madrasahs dating back to the 15th-17th centuries.
