The two grand chamber concerts, to be held at the Ho Guom Opera House in Ha Noi on October 2 and the Saigon Opera House in Ho Chi Minh City on October 4, are part of the official events organised by the state of Hesse for this year’s celebrations.

Notably, the Vietnamese Government and the state of Hesse are co-sponsoring the concerts, with significant support from the national flag carrier, Vietnam Airlines.

Founded in 1929, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra is one of Germany’s first radio symphony orchestras. With its innovative concert formats, successful digital productions and CD releases worldwide, along with regular appearances at major music centres in Europe and Asia, the orchestra has established a prominent position in Europe’s symphonic scene and earned an outstanding global reputation.

Viet Nam has been an important and special partner of the state of Hesse in education, research, and technology since 2012. In 2010, on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of Viet Nam – Germany diplomatic ties, the state also sponsored a friendly football match between Eintracht Frankfurt and the Vietnamese national team, marking the first time a Bundesliga club played in Viet Nam.
