Violinist Caroline Campbell began her career at aged eight, with the American set to perform solo with the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra.

She has worked alongside some of the world’s leading artists, such as Sting, Barbra Streisand, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Bublé. In addition, she has performed in many countries, including Malaysia, Australia, and France, with this year marking the first time she has arrived in Vietnam.

At the concert on August 18, Campbell will perform classic soundtracks from hit movies like Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as Romeo and Juliet.

The concert will also enjoy the presence of American soprano Corinne Winters who is “an outstanding actress, as well as a singer of extraordinary grace and finesse,” as acclaimed by The New York Times.

She will join with British opera singer Oliver Johnston to recreate timeless opera tunes from world’s famous pieces of works, including Carmen, Das Land des Lächelns, and Neapolitan Song.

Dao To Loan who is the first Vietnamese singer to win the first prize at the Singapore Lyric Opera ASEAN Vocal Competition, will also participate in the concert.

They will co-work with the Sun Symphony Orchestra to perform La Traviata, which is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi.
