Amazing events for this weekend in Hanoi
Time to unwind your imagination with West Lake Run: Run for the Reading Culture or enjoy contemporary Music Concert “Shades of Sounds”, etc.
Contemporary Music Concert “Shades of Sounds”
Manzi is pleased to host “Shades of the Sounds” – a contemporary music concert by the Hanoi New Music Ensemble and Dong Kinh Co Nhac (the Ancient Music Group of Tonkin), featuring works by composer Vu Nhat Tan and Hat Tuong – traditional opera of Vietnam.
As a way of expression and cognition, music is a universal language to mankind. Each ethnic group, through its long history of formation and development, has created their own music with distinctive features and characteristics.
“Shades of the Sounds” is a program combining contemporary music and traditional music through the works by composer Vu Nhat Tan and Hat Tuong.
With the criterion “to sing as to behold”, Hat Tuong is a captivating art form, its distinct vocal and performance techniques immerse the audience into different emotional states.
The concert is a journey into the sound of music of the past and present.
