Recently, Bui Cong Duy was on the list of people awarded the title of People's Artist (NSND) according to Decision No. 1431/QD-CTN signed by President Vo Van Thuong on November 28, 2023.
Bui Cong Duy was once a young talent of Vietnamese music with many major international awards, including the first prize - Gold Medal at the Tchaikovsky International Music Competition for Young Artists in 1997.
Graduated from the Tchaikovsky Conservatory (Russia), Bui Cong Duy is the first foreigner to occupy a position in the world-famous Virtuose Moscow string orchestra.
He and his wife, pianist Trinh Huong (daughter of musician Phu Quang), returned to work in Vietnam when their careers abroad were flourishing.
The couple taught together at the Vietnam National Academy of Music and performed major concerts.
In April 2023, Bui Cong Duy was awarded the title of Honorary Professor of the Kazakhstan National University of Arts. Kazakhstan's music scene inherits the quintessence of Soviet music, so it is very high-level and unique. This is a great honor for Bui Cong Duy and the entire Vietnam National Academy of Music.
Bui Cong Duy currently holds a PhD degree and has been the Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Academy of Music since 2017. He is the youngest Deputy Director in the nearly 70-year history of this school.
Last year, artist Bui Cong Duy surprised everyone when he failed to get the title of Associate Professor by the State Council of Professors, even though he was supported by the Interdisciplinary Council of Professors.
Meritorious Artist Bui Cong Duy trained many students who won high prizes in competitions such as Hoang Ho Khanh Van and Nguyen Nguyen Le.
In particular, Tran Le Quang Tien - his student - excellently entered the semi-finals of 15 contestants, ranked 8th and won the Diploma Special Prize - Special Prize for the best performer of modern genre works of the Tchaikovsky competition in the capital Astana - Kazakhstan in 2017.
Successful in his career, Meritorious Artist Bui Cong Duy also has a happy family life. He and pianist Trinh Huong always care for and understand each other.
Trinh Huong once shared with Dan Tri reporter that when he knew she loved Bui Cong Duy, musician Phu Quang was very supportive. "My father loves Duy, not only because of his talent but also because he is a very real person. He is happy that his son-in-law also does art...", Trinh Huong confided.
Artist Bui Cong Duy also said that he was very close to his father-in-law. He was one of the few people who witnessed a completely different side of Phu Quang when musician Phu Quang passionately cheered for the MU team (Manchester United - English football club).
Father and son share the same interests and are fans of this football team, so they have many happy memories together. He and his father-in-law often talk about sports and their interests.
Trinh Huong also shared that Bui Cong Duy is quite indulgent with his wife, because they both work in the arts, the two understand each other better. Although he is a leader at school, at home he is simple, often taking his children to and from school if his wife is busy.
