The concert will showcase the beauty of Vietnam, its people and its thousand-year old capital Hanoi - a city of peace, and a world-class destination for international cultural events.

The Vietnam Airlines Classic - Hanoi Concert 2018 will return to Vietnam’s capital in October with more than 90 well-known artists from the London Symphony Orchestra – one of the best symphony orchestras in the world, led by one of the world’s finest conductors.
The event is organized by the Hanoi People’s Committee in coordination with national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines. Accordingly, London Symphony Orchestra will bring a performance filled with musical virtuosity and enthusiasm.

This annual event will bring world-class cultural and artistic works to local audiences, as well as serving as a cultural bridge connecting Vietnam, and its capital Hanoi, to the world - not only in terms of tourism, but also as a country, and city, of rich cultural traditions and identity.
