As an initiative of the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra and the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts, a special outdoor symphony concert with the theme "Summer Melodies" will be performed on July 7 at the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts, 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Hanoi.
It's part of the "When Music Blends with Fine Arts" program organized by the museum and the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra to attract visitors and bring chamber music closer to the public.
Previously, at the end of March 2024, the outdoor concert with the theme "Melodies of the Season: Spring", met with a positive response from the audience.
