The event serves as a cultural platform for Viet Nam to showcase its revolutionary music achievements, alongside new compositions by Vietnamese musicians, to an international audience.
It also offers foreign artists an opportunity to gain deeper insight into the country, its people and its rich musical and cultural heritage, thereby strengthening friendships and enhancing the profile of Vietnamese professional music on the world stage.
The opening ceremony featured a series of notable performances, including the ballet suite Wild Rose and variations on the theme of Sisa.
On November 28, audiences will enjoy an international chamber music concert. November 29 will feature two chamber concerts at the Military University of Culture and Arts – one by young Vietnamese composers and another by the Moscow Contemporary Chamber Orchestra.
A series of masterclasses by international experts will also be held for students of the Viet Nam National Academy of Music, focusing on East–West instrumental fusion, orchestral conducting and chamber performance.
The festival will conclude on the evening of December 1 with a symphonic concert at the academy.
