Symphonic mugham (Azerbaijani: Simfonik muğam) is a genre of music that blends the traditional mugham with the structure and orchestration of Western classical music. It represents one of the most innovative musical movements in 20th-century Azerbaijan, uniting the improvisational spirit of mugham with the rich harmonies and textures of the symphony orchestra.
