The Orchestra is currently in Southeast Asia for a performance tour which will take them to Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam from August to September. 

Sixteen string musicians and conductor Gudni Emilsson have been rehearsing with VNSO musicians for the two concerts they will play together on Sunday and next Monday at the Hanoi Opera House.

The concert will feature pieces by two great German composers, Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. A duet of Bach’s ‘Concerto for Violin and Oboe in D-Minor’ by German violinist Julia Galic and Vietnamese oboist Hoang Tung will open the show.

Bartholdy’s ‘Violin concerto in D-Minor’ will follow. The musicians will perform Bartholdy’s symphony Reformation after the intermission.

The Tubinger Chamber Orchestra was found in 1957 with the intention of encouraging friendship between international universities and youth organizations, and building bridges between young musicians from all over the world. The impressive results have been 69 concert tours in 90 countries, often accompanied by renowned soloists.
