(VOV) - Two concerts to mark Austrian National Day and the 40th anniversary of Vietnam-Austria diplomatic ties will be performed in Hanoi on October 26 and HCM City on October 28.
The Austrian Acies Quartet and the Vietnamese Song Hong Quintet are the featured artists at the event.
The Acies Quartet will perform String Quartet Op.74 No.3 “The Rider” by Joseph Haydn and String Quartet in F sharp minor by Friedrich Gulda while the Song Hong Quintet will perform “Mua Mua” (the rainy season) by contemporary Vietnamese composer, Vu Nhat Tan.
The two groups will also join together to play Mendelssohn’s Octet Op.20 in Es-Major.
