Classical music concert to tour five cities
| 15:57' 26/07/2007 (GMT+7) | ||
Led by Japanese conductor Tetsuji Honna, the Vietnam Symphony Orchestra will perform familiar romantic works by German composer Felix Mendelssohn such as excerpts from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Violin Concerto in E minor and Symphony No. 4. Besides conductor Tetsuji Honna, another Japanese name to appear in the concert is renowned violinist Ai Okumura. Tomorrow, July 26, Okumura will be in Vietnam for practice with the orchestra. Ticket prices will be unusually reasonable for a classical musical concert. According to Artist of Merit Hoang Quan, Director of the Vietnam Symphony Orchestra, tickets in Hanoi and HCM City will range from one to two hundred thousand dong each. In Nha Trang, Hai Phong and Hue, ticket prices will be much cheaper: around VND30,000/ticket. All revenues from ticket sales will be donated to music and art schools to support disadvantaged students in the cities where the orchestra will perform. The Toyota concert will take place at the Hanoi Opera House on July 29; the Hai Phong Opera House on July 31; the Thua Thien-Hue Centre of Culture and Information on August 5; the Khanh Hoa Cultural Centre on August 9; and the HCM City Opera House on August 12.
