The musicians will train six hours a day for one week, and take part in other activities of the festival.
The 2015 Saigon Chamber Music will offer master classes and workshops from 5pm daily from August 2 to 6, with free entrance.
The highlight of the event will be a concert showcasing 22 young Vietnamese talented artists performing a diverse repertoire of solo, duet, trio, and quartet works.
