Special art performance to mark Vietnam-Japan diplomatic ties
VOV.VN - For the first time a symphony orchestra consisting of both Vietnamese and Japanese artists under the baton of Vietnamese conductor Dong Quang Vinh is set to perform in Japan from October 2 to October 10.
At a press conference held on August 22 in Hanoi, Matsuda Ayuko, a member of the art performance’s organising board, confirmed that this represents a dream orchestra as it combines talented artists from both countries.
The event is being held as part of activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of joint diplomatic relations and is expected to become a bridge which connects people of the two countries, she said.
The special art performance drawing the participation of 60 artists from the two countries is scheduled to take place across six cities and provinces in Japan, including Tokyo, Gunma, Iwate, Fukushima, Miyagi, and Nara.
A delegation made up of Vietnamese artists of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet (VNOB), the Vietnam National Academy of Music (VNAM), and the Suc Song Moi Bamboo Ensemble will travel to Japan for the occasion.
Pianist Nguyen Viet Trung, who became the first Vietnamese artist to compete in the world-renowned Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition after more than 40 years, will also participate in the art performance.
