The evening will begin with a composition by Franz Liszt, the 19th century Hungarian pianist and composer who is known for his masterpieces meant for literature.
Pianist Joo Eun Young will perform Franz's Transcendental Etude No 4 Mazeppa, which was inspired by Victor Hugo's dramatically morbid poem named Mazeppa.

Joo, who released her debut album in 2008, works as a lecturer at the HCM City Music Conservatory.
She will then be joined by clarinetist Dao Nhat Quang, pianist Ly Giai Hoa and her younger colleague, violinist Tang Thanh Nam.

A graduate of the Shanghai Music Conservatory, Hoa has performed at various venues at home and in Asian and European countries.
The second part of the programme will feature some young HBSO artists.
