In March 2024, students at the Baku Academy of Music (BMA) attended a remote masterclass held at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre by the famous Lithuanian violinist and teacher Dainius Puodziukas. The lesson, jointly organised by AzScienceNet NOC of the Institute of Information Technology (IIT) and the Baku Academy of Music, took place thanks to the audiovisual broadcasting system LoLa (LOw LAtency). During the master class, Mr. Puodziukas shared his knowledge of the violin and his expertise and experience as a violinist and was able to demonstrate to the Azerbaijani students how to play the violin in the simplest possible way.
“LoLa’s deployment was made possible byGÉANT’s high-speed internet connectivity through EU4Digital: Connecting Research and Education Communities (EaPConnect) project. This technology offers great opportunities to musicians and the musical institutions from the EaP countries. It enables the BMA to host master classes led by other musicians for students without requiring them to travel. Judging from the success of this experience, I think that it may be advantageous to use this technology for other purposes as well”, comments Rasim Alguliyev, General director of IIT, Baku
